Lucia Kovacikova
I am a PhD candidate in Political Science at Tulane University. My focus is on IPE, specifically on paradiplomacy and economic development of subnational governments. Using both quantitative and qualitative data, I explore the growing role of regional governments in international markets. I received my B.A. from the University of Calgary, my M.Sc. from the University of Amsterdam, and my M.A. from Tulane University. I also worked for numerous diplomatic and international organizations, Global Affairs Canada, Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars, and the UK Department of International Trade.
