The Comparative Politics Research Group publishes widely across a range of leading international peer reviewed journals. See individual pages for details of specific articles.
Group members from the Department of European and International Studies are currently working on a range of subjects that directly address the challenges and potential crises facing the EU and individual European states.
Edoardo Bressanelli’s current research focuses on the challenges faced by the EU and the rise of domestic contestation. Isabelle Hertner is working on the tensions of representative democracy and the continuing challenge posed by populist parties across Europe. Aleko Kupatadze’s research addresses the crisis of legitimacy brought about by the politics of corruption and the ‘dark side’ of globalisation. Finally, Lee Savage is examining both the electoral decline of social democratic parties and the challenges to the welfare state in Europe.
Each of these areas of research address a contemporary problem in European politics and while in some instances these problems have not yet reached the point of crisis, each holds that potential.
