Herranz Surralles, A (Anna)

Expertise

Anna Herranz-Surrallés' research concentrates on EU external energy policy and global energy governance, with a focus on the relationship between energy, security and democracy. Some of her recent work has examined the emergence of EU energy diplomacy, the politicization of energy investments and infrastructure, or the changing paradigms and practices of energy cooperation in the EU’s relations with neighbouring countries.

Anna is currently working on a recently-awarded NWO-Aspasia project on "Dangerous Assets?: Foreign Investment Governance in times of De-globalization", focusing on the social construction of foreign investment as a threat to national security. 

Her broader research interests include the practices of legitimation and democratic control of foreign economic and security policies, the international promotion and diffusion of policy ideas, as well as theories and methods of discourse analysis.

Anna's work has appeared in journals such as West European PoliticsJournal of Common Market Studies, Mediterranean Politics, Cooperation & Conflict, Journal of European Integration, or Journal of European Public Policy

Anna Herranz-Surrallés is also visiting professor at the College of Europe (Natolin Campus); Member of the Editorial Board of Journal of European Integration; member of the international advisory board of the International Spectator; and steering group member of the ECPR Energy Politics, Policy and Governance research network.
