Biography

Angela Romano is a historian of 20th Century International Relations. Before joining the School of Social & Political Sciences, she was Senior Research Fellow at the European University Institute (EUI), where she co-ran the 5-year ERC-funded project PanEur1970s that she has also helped to conceive. She had prior been Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow (2013–2015), Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at LSE International History Department (2011–2013), and Jean Monnet Fellow at the EUI (2009–2010). Angela has also a rich teaching experience at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels at Italian, US, Japanese, and UK universities; in January 2020 she has been invited Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo.

Research interests

  • International and transnational political and economic relations
  • European integration and cooperation processes
  • Regional organisations (including the EEC/EU, COMECON, NATO, the CSCE)
  • Cold War
  • External relations of the EEC/EU

Since 2004 Angela has published extensively on these subjects and has been invited to numerous conferences and seminars in Europe, Russia, the United States, and Japan. Although national governments remain relevant objects of her research, Angela's approach moves beyond the nation-state and considers supranational entities, multilateral organizations and fora, and business actors, and aims at analysing the interactions between these actors within wider world processes such as the Cold War, de-industrialisation, and globalisation.
