Research interests

Bialasiewicz's work focuses on EU foreign policy and on the role of Europe in the wider world. Her most recent research has examined the intersection of EU border management and EU geopolitics, looking specifically at the role of third states in the 'out-sourcing' of border controls in the Mediterranean.
