Media & Policy Output

I often give interviews to international media, sometimes I write policy analyses used by governmental and non-governmental organisations, and I occasionally publish op-eds and comments in international media. Below you can find links to some of the articles and interviews where I appear.

I am always available for media interview requests and outreach with policy practitioners. Please, reach me either via e-mail or social media.
