Works in Progress
Dr. Kostadinova's main area of research involves the role of public preferences, and media's transmission of these preferences, in shaping social and economic policies in the post-communist countries.
A second stream of research focuses on the impact of the European Union on non-member states. Projects in this category involve the extent to which the EU's accession process and conditionality affect the policies of the applicant countries, and the determinants of the EU's official development assistance to the third world and pre-accession countries.
