"My research focuses on the question of how state control of markets can be shaped by law in order to ensure (socially and ecologically) sustainable social structures. In doing so, I focus on infrastructure sectors and sectors of general interest that cover people's basic needs and are also central to the climate transition." (Dragana Damjanovic)

Research areas:

* Public commercial law
* Infrastructure law and law of services of general interest
