Petya Alexandrova

Since May 2010, Petya Alexandrova (born in 1986, Ruse, Bulgaria) works at the Montesquieu Institute as a PhD Researcher. She holds a BA in International Politics and History from Jacobs University Bremen (Germany) and a MA in Contemporary European Studies from the University of Bath (United Kingdom), Charles University Prague (the Czech Republic) and Humboldt University Berlin (Germany).

Petya Alexandrova's research at the Montesquieu Institute deals with the changing role of the European Council in political agenda setting in the EU, before and after the Treaty of Lisbon. This research is part of the international Comparative Agendas Project, focusing on the ways in which different issues interact on the policy agenda of EU institutions and European countries, in a long-term perspective. She is interested in agenda-setting, European Union politics and the dynamic relationship between the EU and its member states.
