My research programme is built around two main theoretical perspectives and articulated through two empirical windows'. The first research programme focuses on geographical political economy, with special attention to transformations in the capitalist space economy. In particular, the articulation between local/regional and national/transnational processes has been of central importance. Specific research includes industrial restructuring, finance, urban/regional development and governance, and the scalar' transformation of governance.

The second research programme focuses on political-ecology, with particular emphasis on the governance, politics, and economics of water resources. The main theoretical objective here is to fuse theoretically social and physical processes. This aims to contribute to the formulation of a politically progressive socio-natural theory.
