About

- Professor of Political Science at the Goethe University Frankfurt - PhD in Political Science, University of Konstanz, Germany. - previous positions: Senior Researcher at the University of Zurich, Visiting Scholar at Harvard University, Duke University, and at Rutgers, as well as a Max Weber Fellow at the EUI, Florence. I'm a political scientist, working at the intersection of comparative political economy, political sociology, and comparative political institutions. Most of my recent work focuses on welfare state research, education and social investment policy, global social policy, party politics, and public opinion. Publications include books with Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Palgrave Macmillan, and articles e.g. at Comparative Political Studies, European Journal of Political Research, Journal of European Public Policy, and West European Politics.
