Alia Middleton joins the European Political Science Review

ECPR and Cambridge University Press welcome Alia Middleton, University of Surrey, to the EPSR editorial team

Alia is Senior Lecturer in Politics and Co-Director of the University of Surrey’s Centre for Britain and Europe, a Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence. She holds a PhD in Politics from the University of Edinburgh.

Her research interests broadly encompass electoral politics, particularly party campaigning strategies and strategic political communication in the UK.

Alia’s research has appeared in numerous peer-reviewed journals, including Electoral Studies, Parliamentary Affairs and, most recently, the Journal of Elections, Public Opinion and Parties. She contributed 2018 data on political developments in the UK to our own Political Data Yearbook.

She is the author of Communicating and Strategising Leadership in British Elections: Follow the Leader? (Palgrave, 2021), which explores the campaigning activities of Conservative, Labour and Lib Dem leaders in British general election campaigns. Working with former PDY editor Alistair Clark, she also contributed a chapter to the 2022 Routledge Handbook of Local Elections and Voting in Europe.
