Comparative Politics Research Group
On this page, the Comparative Politics Research Group (CPRG) is presented, including the conveners, researchers in the group, how you find their publications, and upcoming seminars.
About the group
The Comparative Politics Research Group covers all major research areas in the field, including institutions, democracy and political development, parties and voting behavior, political economy, political psychology, public opinion, and public policy.
We specialize in the politics of OECD countries, but many of us also do research on Eastern Europe, Latin America, and other regions. In recent years, we have developed strong research environments on the study of parties and party systems, polarization and radicalization, and historical political economy.
