Romain Blancaneaux holds a PhD in Political Science from the University of Bordeaux (Sciences Po Bordeaux). He wrote and defended a thesis entitled Changements d’échelles dans la régulation politique de l’économie. Les transformations du secteur vitivinicole en Gironde et en Languedoc-Roussillon), in which he set out to understand the conditions of emergence, stabilization and destabilization of the organization of the wine sector established in France since the first half of the twentieth century. Using the wine industry as a case study, he has studied the long-term effects of changes in scale (national and European) on the political regulation of the economy. He has published on the impact of public action instruments (national and Community) on economic and collective strategies, as well as on the relations between national and European parliaments in opposition to the European Commission.
