I am a Distinguished Research Fellow at the Institute for Public Goods and Policies (IPP) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), where I lead the research project CONSENT, funded by an ERC Consolidator Grant. In this project, we explore the motivations of losers to consent being ruled by the winners, and the causes and consequences of the breakdown in losers’ consent in established democracies.
I received my D.Phil in Politics from the University of Oxford (Nuffield College) in July 2012. My thesis was awarded the Arthur McDougall Fund Prize from the PSA for the best British thesis in 2012 on Elections, Electoral Systems, and Representation.
I have published in journals such as International Organization, World Politics, British Journal of Political Science, Political Science Research and Methods, and European Journal of Political Research, among others. My research to date has developed at the intersection between political behavior and comparative political economy. In particular, my research trajectory has explored how citizens’ political behavior across different institutional contexts, and how this, in turn, affects government’s strategies. My research combined the use of observational data, geographic analysis, and experimental methods.
I am also involved in several projects on democratic backsliding and the politics of migration. In the past, I led the project “Democratic Dissatisfaction in Southern Europe” as Principal Investigator, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), as well as other collaborative research projects, funded by various institutions.
