About me

Stavros Makris is a Fellow in Law at LSE Law School. He completed his PhD in competition law at the European University Institute (EUI). His thesis develops the idea of EU competition law as responsive law, and explores the European Commission’s commitments practice under this lens. He obtained an LLM degree (with distinction) from University College London, and holds a Bachelor of Law and a Master in Philosophy of Law (with distinction) from the University of Athens. During his doctoral studies at the EUI, he was an editor and the EU Law Head of Section of the European Journal Legal Studies, the coordinator of the EUI Competition Law Working Group and a Grotius visiting researcher at the University of Michigan Law School. Prior to joining the LSE, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Wageningen University and a teaching fellow at Sciences Po Paris (Euro-American Campus of Reims).
