Topics interested in supervising

I am interested in regional (or territorial) politics in the UK and comparatively (covering both Europe and North America). I am happy to supervise work on regional public attitudes, parties and elections, public policy innovation and variation, and regional dimensions of EU governance (multi-level governance). I also supervise work in German politics, especially on federalism and on German EU policy.
