Research Group ‘Modernization and Mobilization in Eurasia’

We are working on data oriented studies of political participation and institutional transformation in China, Russia, Germany, Iran, Turkey and Japan, among other cases. Of special interest to us is the logic of participation in emerging electoral institutions on the side of voters, and corresponding strategizing on the size of the political parties. These interactions among the political elite and constituents encompass themes such as turnout dynamics, redistributive politics, new party entry and targeted public goods provision, in the historical and contemporary contexts.

Current Projects:


  1. Redistribution and Democratization: Evidence from 1990s Russia.
  2. State Capacity and the Logic of Anti-Corruption Campaign in China.
  3. Rise of Radical Parties in German Politics, Logic and Illustrations.
  4. Determinants of Voter Turnout in Contemporary Russia.
  5. Ethnic Divisions and Origins of Electoral Institutions in the Turkish/Ottoman State.

Completed:


  1. Collective Voting in Post-2000 Russia.
  2. Targeted Public Goods Provision, Special Interest Politics: Case of AKP’s Turkey.
  3. Radical Party Entry and Exit: Russia 1905-17.
  4. Voter Turnout in Autocracies: Iranian Parliamentary Politics before 1979.
