"Mafias as a form of State" - interview with Federico Varese (CEE)

Federico Varese joined the Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics (CEE) as a University Professor in sociology in February 2023, after a career at the University of Oxford, where he has been the Director of the Department of Sociology. His research focuses on organised crime and mafias, especially in the former Soviet Union and Russia. He currently leads a large comparative project, titled CrimGov and funded by an ERC Advanced Grant, aiming to study criminal organisations through their production, trade, and governance activities. In this video, he talks about his career and his research and tells his reasons for choosing to join the CEE and Sciences Po.
