He teaches and researches in the fields of international history, politics and economics and has a regional interest in the fields of European, Balkan and Near Eastern studies.
Vassilis is the founding editor of the refereed periodical Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies, published by Routledge six times a year since 1998 and his work has been translated into more than ten languages, including Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Serbo-Croat, Greek and Italian.

CURRENT RESEARCH
Vassilis is currently working on the Euro-zone crisis and the conflation between undemocratic politics and crisis economics caused by the constant cannibalization of markets and a pronounced power shift to Asia.
