Academic interests
I study the challenges on the far right and the far left, looking into whether political coalitions on the local level lead to better integration to the political system. Indications of such an integration would be moderation of ideology, behavior, rhetoric, as well as increased success of coalitions on the National level. Thus the PhD is a part of the discussion of the “mainstreaming” of radical parties.
