Arnaud Vaganay

London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

Arnaud Vaganay is a researcher in political science and research methodology. Currently a PhD candidate and teaching assistant at the London School of Economics and Political Science’s Department of Methodology, he is primarily interested in the mechanisms that shape research decisions in a political context – even though his curiosity sometimes takes him far beyond these issues. These interests stem from his previous experience as an evaluation consultant in Brussels, where for about six years he observed the respective roles of veto players, bureaucrats, interest groups and social researchers in the EU policy-making process.
