Anzhelika holds a Master of Science in Public Policy from Drexel University and a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations with a specialization in American Politics from Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Ukraine. Her research interests focus on comparative politics, European Union enlargement policy—particularly in the Western Balkans and Ukraine—and U.S. economic policymaking, with broader attention to policy continuity, feedback mechanisms, political behavior, and institutional governance dynamics.
Her research experience includes an undergraduate thesis examining North Macedonia’s foreign policy trajectory toward EU membership and a master’s thesis analyzing the political and economic implications of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 as a case study in policy durability. Across her work, Anzhelika employs both qualitative and quantitative methods, drawing on legislative records, government data, and empirical analysis to assess how political institutions evolve and how policy decisions generate long-term effects.
Anzhelika’s work is grounded in a commitment to strengthening democratic governance and advancing evidence-based policymaking. She has engaged in academic exchange and policy dialogue through participation in European political summits and through her studies at the University of Salzburg, Austria, where she focused on gender and power studies, diplomatic negotiation, and interstate conflict. Fluent in five languages, she brings a strong cross-cultural perspective to multidisciplinary research and international policy initiatives.
