I have successfully defended my PhD thesis on ‘European Integration and the Surge of the Populist Radical Right’. The complete PhD thesis, which is a fully reproducible document written in bookdown and RMarkdown, is available open access and can be downloaded here. The slides of my presentation, which are written in xaringan and RMarkdown, are hosted under this link.

Thanks a lot for all the tremendous support that I have received from so many different people over the last years. I am sure that this project would have not been nearly as vibrant, engaging and rewarding without the countless stimulating encounters and numerous friendships made throughout my PhD journey.
