Research
Mario Telò has published 6 books, 38 edited books and more than 200 scientific articles and book chapters. Many of his books and articles have been translated in 13 languages, including German, Mandarin, Russian, Portuguese and Spanish. His scientific work scientific is situated between International relations, Comparative politics and the History of political thought and developed along three main axes.

Early work on European social democracy.
In the 70s, Mario Telò started a comparative and historical research work on European politics focusing on social-democracy (particularly in Sweden, Belgium, Germany and the UK), from the anti-crisis policies of the 1930s to the recent critical developments and the interplay with the European integration process.  His main hypothesis is that the crucial difference between the 1930s and the post-WWII decades address relevant theoretical and methodological implications. Regarding the interwar period, the defeat of SPD, the evolution of the Labour party and the Belgian POB, and, particularly, the successful foundation of the Swedish and Scandinavian model of Welfare state show the realism of the national reformation policies, within the chaotic international context of the 1930s. By contrary, the burden posed by the external constraints, dramatically increasing from the period of embedded capitalism to the 1970s and 1980, made it difficult for social democratic parties to continue by the previous national welfare policies and obliged them to look for a European strategy, dramatically challenging the previous balance between national and international. The best outcome of this comparative historical research is Le New Deal Européen (previously published in a italian version ). Several edited books are deepening the evolution of the last three decades:


 * Governo e politica di riforme in Europa: il caso svedese (Government and Reform policy in Europe: the Swedish Model), Milan,Angeli ,1988; ISBN: 9788820445737
 * Tradizione socialista e progetto europeo. Le idee della socialdemocrazia tedesca tra storia e prospettiva (The German Social Democracy between history and perspectives: contributions by F.W.Scharpf, H.Mommsen, V.Hauff,   T.Meyer, G.Traurtman),  Preface by W.Brandt, Rome ,1988 (Introduction,pp.1-105);ISBN 13: 978-8835932246; Review by D.Sassoon “German socialdemocracy”,in Il Politico 1989, n.3,pp.425-39,

 * De la Nation à l’Europe. Paradoxes et dilemmes de la social-démocratie, Brussels : Bruyland, 1993, ISBN : 2-8027-0854-6.

and in some related scientific articles:

The theoretical conceptualization of this research started by exploring the role of ideas, and intellectual leadership on the political and institutional policy making:  the Telò works notably focused on the ideas of Rudolf Hilferding, John Maynard Keynes, the ambiguities of Henri De Man’s “planisme” and in particular on the though and methodological works by Gunnar Myrdal, explaining the national differences in national policy making and policy implementation (failed or succeeded) through the political-institutional context. In spite of the shared EU framework, the ideational and institutional variables explain the national differences of performance also in the changed international context after the crises of the ‘80s and the second decade of the XXI century.

European integration studies
'''The second focus of Mario Telò research is on European integration studies, notably: the balance between deepening and enlarging the EU, its internal democracy and governance. The dialogue with Altiero Spinelli and its federalist endeavor was combined with Telò’s responsibility -  notably as IEE-ULB  political research director- to legitimize the EU studies within the scientific discipline, Political science and International Relations, beyond the legacy of the early teleological approach. The main outcomes are:'''The institutional resilience of the first ever experiment of supranational democracy (between the states and beyond the states) and the application to the EU of theory of the “mixed government” and “mixed democratic legitimacy” to the EU context.

Telò’s edited book Démocratie et construction européenne is based on an interdisciplinary dialogue on EU democracy and constitutionalization with  Philippe C. Schmitter, Joseph H.H.Weiler, J.V.Louis, among others. Several articles and book chapters on ”mixed government”, a concept inspired by Norberto Bobbio (Mario Telò published an anthology of his main essays in French, l’Etat et la démocratie internationale ). Three articles sought to deepen this main thesis, Three European constitutionalisms and their respective legitimacy requirements published in 2011 ; The democratization of the European Union: historical and theoretical aspects pubkished in 2014 and The EU from a constitutional project to a process of constitutionalization published in 2016.

The thesis of the EU institutional resilience and internal transformative power throughout crises is very well illustrated by the case of Italy. This research started in 1995 by a work for Einaudi publisher (L’Italia nel processo di costruzione europea ), continued in 2010 with Italy and the idea of Europe and with the special issue of “Comparative European politics”.

Mario Telò explored innovative modes of governance and notably the Open method of coordination. As advisor for institutional issues to the Antonio Guterres European Council rotating Presidency (2000), Telò published a basic contribution with the chapter Governance and government in the EU: the Open method of coordination (with a french translation ). This research continued with the recent interdisciplinary book co-edited with Anne Weyenbergh in 2020, Supranational governance at stake.

The role of the EU in the world
Beyond EU inward looking approaches, the Telò’ s research agenda now focuses, since 1997, on the role of the EU in the world, combining European studies and global studies, also through comparative regionalism. This research program was largely framed by several EU Commission-DG research and Marie-Curie funded programs between 2003 and 2021 (NESCA, GARNET, GREEN and GEM): it shows three interrelated dimensions developed in interplay with by the Erasmus Mundus PhD students and supervisors, as well as the regular visits to network members, universities of all five continents:

Telò started in 1997 a research axis on the EU foreign policy and external action (analysis and conceptualization). In 2004-2005, a major milestone was ''Europe. A Civilian Power? EU, global governance and'' (published in an italian version ). Increasingly distinct from the competitive concepts of normative power and soft power, this research continued in cooperation with F.Ponjaert with the book, The EU Foreign policy What Kind of Power and Diplomatic Action?.

Is the EU an isolated case study? Comparative regionalist research had a first outcome, and Mario Telò’s best seller and most quoted book is EU and new regionalism , the first of numerous articles, books and book chapters on regionalism abroad.

Linked with this project was his research beyond Eurocentric theoretical approaches, on interregional relations, both in general, and on relevant case studies, mainly EU-USA and EU-China (minor works on EU-India, EU-Japan and EU-Brazil, not mentioned here):

 * with Ding Chung and Wang Xiaotong he edited in 2018: Deepening EU-China Partnership, Bridging ideational and institutional differences (Routledge 2018) ISNB: 978-1-138-04228-5 and with Yuan Feng China and the EU in the era of regional and interregional cooperation. The Belt and Road initiative in a comparative perspective, Brussels: Peter Lang 2020(ISBN:978-2-8976-1396-6)

The theoretical framework is based on historical neo-institutionalism :  The most recent synthesis of this research endeavor are: ''Regionalism in Hard Times. Competitive and post-liberal trends in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas and a coedited book with T. Meyer and J.L. Sales Marques in 2020, Regionalism and Multilalteralism''.

The perspective of a multilayered and post-hegemonic form of multilateralism is also illustrated in a policy recommendation perspective through the publication of two edited forthcoming books: Towards a New Multilateralism, co-edited with T.Meyer, J.Sales Marques Routledge 2021 and ''Reforming multilateralism:  for a regionalized, more binding and legitimate United Nations. The COVID 19 crisis as a window of opportunity for change'', Brussels, FEPS, 2021.

Telò is paying very much attention to the impact of EU studies, comparative regionalism, and multiple modernities on International relations theory, also through a 20 years dialogue with theoreticians, first of all, Robert O. Keohane and his school. The International relations  theoretical innovation from the point of view of EU and regional studies is systematically explored in:  International Relations.A European Perspective (published in French ) as well as through an intensive dialogue with Qin Yaqing and Amitav Acharya regarding the conditions for a pluralist theory of international relations: see Building a Common Language in Pluralist International Relations Theories and Toward a Pluralist international relations theory: a EU perspective.
