Introduction
I am a political scientist interested in electoral behavior and comparative politics, with a focus on the impact of historical legacies on electoral turnout and the reasons behind the vote for European populist parties. In my research, I mainly use comparative public opinion survey data and quantitative methods.

Focusing on six populist radical right parties from four Central and Eastern European countries, we show that the factors that account for the vote for these parties in Western Europe do not travel well to Central and Eastern Europe. Euroscepticism boosts populist radical right party voting almost without exception, while nativism, regarded as the...
The recent success of right-wing populist parties (RPPs) in Europe has given rise to different explanations. Economic factors have proven to be significant mainly at the aggregate level. As for the individual level, it has been argued that the so-called ‘losers of globalization’ – the less educated and less skilled, profiles with higher job insecur...
Generation Z is the most educated and yet pessimistic about the future. At the same time, populist parties have much support among young voters. Do they find an answer to their discouraging socio-economic situation in populist appeals? In this article, we analyse how pessimistic economic expectations shape the preference for populist parties among...
Some defenders of democratic rights and the rule of law are becoming increasingly frustrated by the European Union's inadequate response to democratic backsliding in countries like Poland and Hungary. This study focuses on Poland and introduces the concept of ‘Eurodisappointment’ to describe this new group, which is conceptually and empirically dis...
Following the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the ‘democratic backslider’ parties in Hungary (Fidesz) and Poland (Law and Justice) took differing stances on Russia, bringing their positions on the Rule of Law (RoL) conflict and within the broader alliance of Populist Radical Right (PRR) parties into question. Building on and advanci...
The recent rise of populist and illiberal actors in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the concomitant democratic backsliding has generated notable scholarly interest; however, the implications of populism for cultural policy remain understudied. Since culture defines popular tastes and shapes interpretations of national identity and history, we...
Are citizens less likely to support populist radical right parties (PRRPs) in countries with more inclusive migrant integration policies? Studies show that integration policies foster positive attitudes toward migrants, which, in turn, are associated with a lower likelihood of supporting PRRPs. However, the impact of integration policies on PRRP vo...
The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine has prompted a closer examination of parties’ attitudes towards the Putin regime. While research has examined the connections of the EU’s far-right withRussia, less attention has been given to the stances of RadicalLeft Parties (RLPs). We close this gap by analysing Roll Call Votes(RCVs) in the European Parliame...
Labor market competition theory has traditionally analyzed the threat perceived by lower and middle class’ natives on competition over jobs with immigrants. However, in this article we focus on the fiscal burden and competition for social benefits generated by unemployed immigrants and its impact on the vote for Populist Radical Right Parties (PRRP...
This article aims is to problematize and analyze the relationship between age and voter turnout in Poland. Our analyses use the best publicly available empirical data, i.e. Polish National Election Study (PGSW), to confirm clear relationships between age and voter turnout. These relationships are essential for the democratic process and political r...
Populist Radical Right Parties (PRRPs) often mobilize referring to the past. This aspect is not commonly included amongst the characteristic elements of these parties and, more importantly, we do not know much about the electoral returns of this strategy. In this article, we focus on three PRRPs – AfD in Germany, PiS in Poland and VOX in Spain – to...
The report aimed to set the basis of MICADO project and shed some light on the challenges this innovation action faced, establishing a more accurate picture of migrant integration in the four cities of interest for this project: Antwerp, Bologna, Hamburg and Madrid.
The first section of this report presents a combination of a classic systematic l...
This deliverable consists of two parts: Logbook for Development (Part I) and Convergence Handbook (Part II). Both of these documents were aimed at bridging the gaps between the research part of the project and the development phase, allowing for convergence between all partners and pilot cities on the essential requirements for the development of t...
This article assesses the impact of individual-level experiences of political socialisation under communist rule on the propensity to vote in elections after 1989 in eight Central and Eastern European countries. Using CSES and CEU data, it sheds light on the heterogeneity of the effects of communist socialisation on electoral turnout, showing how t...
This article deepens the analysis of the effects of immigration on the vote for Populist Radical Right Parties in Europe, focusing on education levels of both natives and immigrants. By analysing the immigrant population in 101 regions from 11 European countries, we show that in contexts with a large immigrant presence, the low-educated voters tend...
The traditional Spanish imperfect bipartisanship and the alternation in power that emerged in the early 80s between the center-left PSOE and the conservative PP have shifted towards a multiparty system after the emergence of three new parties. At first, as a result of the economic and political representation crises, Podemos (We Can) emerged at the...
Despite the growing literature on populist radical-right parties (PRRP), the relationship between turnout and populist voting remains understudied, especially for Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). In this article, we analyze the individual-level factors that differentiate between those choosing voice (voting for PRRP) and exit (abstention) in the 2...
How does political socialization in a highly fragmented political scene affect propensity to vote? This article focuses on the long-term relationship between the number of political parties and the propensity to turn out in 96 parliamentary elections between 1996 and 2016 of nearly 100,000 individuals in 31 countries. Although intuitively more opti...

During the long nineteenth century, Poland was divided among the Russian, Habsburg, and Prussian empires. The partition produced regional diversity in political culture and in institutional and economic development. We examine how the cultural legacies of the empires have influenced the propensity of Poles to cast a ballot in parliamentary election...

Bajo este sistema electoral se han ido produciendo diferentes resultados electorales. Progresivamente se ha ido reduciendo la pre...
