Research and teaching
My research focuses primarily on political parties and governments in European parliamentary democracies, focusing on topics such as, government formation, government stability, political institutions and party behaviour.


I am currently leading the project Party Government in Europe Database. This project and previous research projects are available at the European Representative Democracy Data Archive.

 

I currently teach about political parties and goverments, social movements and research methods, as well as supervising and examine at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Currently, I am also the Director of doctoral studies.
