Parties, Voters and Elections Research Group

Description

The Parties, Voters and Elections research group at the University of Birmingham is based in the Department of Political Science and International Studies, but welcomes colleagues and students from all departments, centres and institutes of the University who have research interests in political parties, party systems and elections. The group works closely with networks of scholars from outside the University and organizes some events as part of the REPRESENT network with colleagues at the University of Nottingham.

Although the main focus of many members of the group is European politics, the group welcomes members with any geographical area of expertise and interest. Moreover, all scholars of political parties whether they use quantitative, qualitative or a mixture of methodological approaches are very welcome to join the group.

Members of the Parties, Voters and Elections Research Group work on a number of projects covering topics such as depoliticization, small parties, political campaigning, African party politics, populist parties, party membership, national political parties and the challenges of European integration, parties and the Eurozone crisis, opposition parties in non-democratic systems, the evolution of the British party system, and the dynamics of party politics in Central and Eastern Europe.
