The Chair welcomes Dr. Sergiu Buscaneanu

We are excited to welcome Dr. Sergiu Buscaneanu at the Chair of Political Systems and Comparative Politics.

At TU Dresden, Dr. Buscaneanu’s work will focus on the Horizon Europe project REDEMOS which will investigate how the EU’s democracy promotion policies interact with preexisting conditions and dynamics in Eastern European countries.

Before joining TU Dresden, Dr. Buscaneanu worked as a research associate at HU Berlin. Previously, he was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at King’s College London where he taught Foreign Policies of the EU. In the course of his academic career, he held positions at the University of Helsinki, Uppsala University, the Hanse Institut for Advanced Study and the University of Hamburg.

He holds a PhD (2014) in political science from HU Berlin. He is also the author of Regime Dynamics in EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood: EU Democracy Promotion, International Influences, and Domestic Contexts (2017, Palgrave Macmillan).
