Prof. Genovese’s research explores international and comparative political economy, with a strong focus on climate policy, globalization, redistribution, and the political dynamics of crises, particularly in Europe, though not exclusively.

Her work has been featured by leading academic publishers and journals, including Cambridge University Press, as well as in top-tier publications such as the American Political Science Review, British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, International Organization, International Studies Quarterly, and the Review of International Organizations, among others.

Her research has been supported by several prestigious institutions, including the British Academy, the Carnegie Trust, and the Leverhulme Trust, which recognised her contributions with a Research Leadership Award in 2023. In 2024, she was awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize, honoring early-career researchers whose work has had significant international influence and who demonstrate exceptional promise in their field.
