Zoltán Mihály

Dr. Zoltán Mihály is a sociologist specializing in political economy and labour relations, with a particular focus on how transnational capital restructures local industries in dependent economies. His research examines complex dynamics such as failed market insertion, labour discipline, and the transfer of lean production practices by multinational corporations, revealing the structural inequalities that shape economic integration and social transformation. He brings this critical perspective to SESCARNIVORE as a postdoctoral researcher, where he maps the social dimensions of conflict, governance, and coexistence in human-carnivore interactions. His work contributes to understanding how broader political-economic structures, power relations, and institutional arrangements influence the possibilities for sustainable and equitable coexistence, bridging macro-level economic analysis with place-based social dynamics.
