Centre on US Politics

Description

Given many important political trends in the United States that mirror those in other parts of the world—from the rise of populism and “fake news,” to concerns about authoritarianism and mounting polarization—maintaining an international perspective on US politics is critical.

Here in the UK, with its longstanding “special relationship” with the United States, that task is especially clear. This is the reason why the Centre on US Politics (CUSP) at University College London London (UCL) was established. Housed within the School of Public Policy at UCL, one of the world’s leading universities—and with support from the UCL Institute of the Americas—CUSP is uniquely situated to provide rigorous, thoughtful, and incisive analysis of crucial political developments in the United States and their implications for a global audience.

Everyday, CUSP members are shaping salient conversations about US politics—here the UK, in the United States, and around the world. In addition to publishing in top academic presses and scholarly journals, CUSP members routinely engage with policymakers and appear in an array of international media outlets.

CUSP strengthens ties across UCL scholars writing and commenting on US politics, maximizing the quality, diversity, and visibility of their contributions.
