Ivano is developing a structural approach to political economy, drawing on economic and social theory

I joined Goldsmiths from the University of Cambridge, where I was the Mead Fellow in Economics (Junior Research Fellow) at Emmanuel College.

My research, which I describe as Structural Political Economy, draws on economic theory, political economy and social theory. It reinterprets how material, social and cognitive structures shape political-economic conflicts and are shaped by them in turn, also depending on actors’ representation of structures and of their positions therein.

I was awarded the "Feltrinelli Giovani" Prize 2022 for the Social Sciences, the leading prize for Italian researchers under 40, by Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei.

I am Editor-in-Chief of Structural Change and Economic Dynamics.

I co-direct Research in the Institute of Management Studies.

I have founded and I direct the Research Unit in Structural Economic Analysis.

Academic qualifications

  • PhD, University of Cambridge

Teaching and supervision

I direct the Goldsmiths undergraduate Economics programmes, which I co-initiated with Constantinos Repapis.

The programmes are unique in that they bring together theories and methods from different traditions in economics, studying their historical, social and political contexts, and exploring interfaces with other social sciences and humanities.
