Anđela Mićanović joined the Department of Social Sciences in December 2021.

She earned her MA in political science (American studies) from the University in Heidelberg (2017-2018), and her BA in political science and international relations as the best social science student from the University in Montenegro (2013-2017). During her BA studies, she spent two exchange years at the Institute for International Studies (American University) in Washington DC (2014-2015), and at the Institut für Politische Wissenschaft in Heidelberg (2016-2017).

Prior to joining the University of Luxembourg as a Doctoral Researcher, she worked in the public sector and international organizations in Montenegro. Such professional experience reinforced her interest in the Europeanization in the Southeast Europe (SEE), geopolitics and strategy, authoritarianism and democratization.

Anđela research aims to examine the political, institutional and geopolitical (f)actors which influenced the EU process of decision making and adoption of strategies for SEE that (in)directly contributed to democratic backsliding and the rise of right-wing populism in the region. Her PhD project has been supported by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) under the supervision of  Prof. Dr Josip Glaurdić.
