S. Donnelly (Shawn)

Assistant Professor, Technology, Resilience & Europe

About Me

I'm Assistant Professor for Technology, Resilience & Europe. I teach regulation in nearly every faculty of the University of Twente, covering health, cybersecurity, business IT, consumer protection, digital markets and competition policy. I also teach economic strategy for governments, as well as digital and SDG transformation strategies.

My research specialises in comparative and international political economy, covering public (economic) governance in Europe and globally, with expertise in financial stability, crisis response and resilience. I am the author of Reshaping Economic and Monetary Union (Manchester University Press 2004), The Regimes of European Integration (Oxford University Press, 2010, and Power Politics, Banking Union and EMU: Adjusting Europe to Germany (Routledge 2018), European Banking Nationalism: State Power and Troubled Banks (Routledge 2022) and a series of articles, chapters and commissioned reports.

My ongoing projects deal with the transformation on public economic governance in Europe to deal with COVID, the transfer of financial services and technology from the UK to the EU in response to Brexit, and public policy and regulation around fintech and central bank digital currencies to respond to the rise of investment and trade in blockchain financial assets.

Research

I specialize foremost in the design of economic resilience and financial stability—ensuring productive economies and secure financial markets--from a foundation in comparative and international political economy and public policy. Empirical analysis of different national systems is the starting point for determining the scope for international standards, institutions and cooperation. My work is known for comparing the interplay of interests, identity and ideology in determining national responses to crises.

I've published on macroeconomic policy, financial market regulation, post-Brexit adjustments of economic activity and regulation in Europe and the UK, transatlantic policies, and EU responses to existential threats: particularly COVID and Russia's war on Ukraine.
