Research

My research sits at the intersection of international political economy and international relations. One of my main areas of interest lies in how corporate theories and market-based approaches have informed the evolution of contemporary governance models. I examine how these models travel into global politics and reshape the relationship between public and private authority. My work develops a conceptual vocabulary for understanding this shift and, more broadly, for asking what these transformations imply for democracy and the possibilities for collective action.

I have also conducted research and published on the political economy of expertise and its relationship to public-private governance, with a particular interest in the challenges these novel arrangements pose to traditional understandings of technocracy and expert rule. Through empirical engagement with fields such as global food systems, sustainability, and global health, I explore these questions through concrete policy areas.

My academic trajectory is plural and interdisciplinary: I was trained as both a historian and a political scientist, and have navigated research cultures across Colombia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and France.
