Professor Vassilis Fouskas

Professor Fouskas is a trained economic and political historian with a profound interest in how political and economic theories shape and guide policy at the state level. With Bulent Gokay (Keele University), he co-authored a trilogy (2005, 2012 and 2019) mapping out the structural economic decline of the United States and the rise of China on the global stage. 

His recent book, The Melanoma of Cyprus (Epikentro, Salonica), saw four reprints since its first publication in summer 2024. In 2025, Routledge released the English version co-produced with former British diplomat William D. E. Mallinson: Cyprus 1974. Anatomy of an Invasion. His most recent political economy work is published in Socialist Register (2025) with Alan Cafruny (Hamilton College, USA), examining the economic impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 

Under his leadership, STAMP is leading an international consortium of university researchers and think-tanks, creating pathways to impact on policy-making communities. He’s the chief adviser to REDETE, the largest professional network in the Balkans, working on green transition and sustainability.
