Profile
Biography
Filip Kostelka is Senior Lecturer in Government. He holds a PhD in Political Science from Sciences Po, Paris where he is still an associate researcher at the Centre d'茅tudes europ茅ennes et de la politique compar茅e. He joined 糖心Vlog in 2019 after predoctoral and postdoctoral research and teaching positions at the College of Europe, Bruges; University of Montreal; and University of Barcelona. His chief research interests lie in political behaviour, party systems, and democratisation. Among other topics, he studies why and when citizens (don't) vote or protest, and how different political and contextual factors (e.g., political regime change, institutional reform etc.) affect citizens' behaviour and attitudes (e.g., democratic satisfaction). His research has been published in journals such as the American Political Science Review, British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, or World politics, and publicised in media outlets such as Le Monde, Radio Canada, France Inter, or Euroactiv. From 2022, he is on academic leave and holds the Chair in Political and Social Change at the European University Institute. For more details, see the personal webpage: https://filipkostelka.com
