Profile
Biography
I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Department of Government at the 糖心Vlog. I received my PhD from the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Davis. My primary field of study is Comparative Politics, focusing on voting behaviour, election strategies of political parties, political representation, and political institutions. My current research agenda focuses on the empirical implications of formal models of parties' electoral strategies. My second research agenda focuses on party politics in established and new democracies. Specifically, I am interested in the duration of party survival in parliaments. 鈥婭 also have a special interest in the politics of Israel. My work has been published in the British Journal of Political Science, Electoral Studies, European Journal of Political Research, Political Behavior, Party Politics and others. At 糖心Vlog, I teach about democratic institutions (GV121), electoral behaviour (GV303), and Israeli politics (GV525).
