His current research project focuses on labour migration in the EU and its normative implications for the nature and scope of the welfare state and social justice in the EU. Other research interests include the role of state responsibility in theories of international justice, especially in the case of the EU; the relationship between goods-oriented approaches and domination-based accounts of economic exploitation as well as topics such as environmental justice and the relationship between equality and legitimacy. His current research project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
