With a rich academic background that began at the Faculty of Economics at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice, he has dedicated his career to exploring the intricate dynamics of international relations, policy formulation, and economic transitions, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe.

In his role, Dominese coordinates key initiatives that bridge the gap between academia and practical governance, notably through the Journal of Global Policy and Governance, in partnership with SIRPA at Fudan University in Shanghai. His expertise in qualitative research and intercultural communication has been instrumental in developing specialized international postgraduate and doctoral programs that address contemporary challenges in foreign policy and European Union dynamics.
Prof. Dominese’s commitment to fostering a collaborative research environment has led to numerous impactful projects that not only enhance academic discourse but also contribute to policy development in transitioning societies. His work emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches, integrating insights from economics, politics, and management to navigate the complexities of global governance. As a thought leader in the field, he continues to inspire a new generation of scholars and policymakers to engage with the pressing issues of our time, ensuring that the Transition Studies Research Network remains at the forefront of academic and practical advancements in this vital area of study.
