Stanislav’s research interests range from Chinese Studies (socio-political development of China) to International Relations and Human Rights. He has an academic background in Oriental Studies (BA, Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia) and European and Global studies (MA, University of Padua, Italy), and work background in Human Rights (Human Rights Centre of the University of Padua).
Stanislav’s doctoral research seeks to analyse the interplay between mega-infrastructure projects and human rights by looking at modern Chinese infrastructure development in Europe from the human rights perspective, focusing in particular on the transformation of the Chinese approaches to human rights in foreign policy. This will be done, in particular through case studies of Italy and Ukraine: two European countries actively involved in Chinese infrastructure development.
