About

Dr Maria Gloria Polimeno is Research Fellow at the SOAS Middle East Institute, University of London. She is an interdisciplinary scholar of the Middle East. Many of her interdisciplinary research interests have been shaped by living and researching in the region. Her works focus on comparative politics with a particular emphasis on transformative authoritarianism and political legitimacy. In this area of research, she focuses on corruption, comparative political economy, ethno-politics, and environmental and food politics with reference to green energy transition projects and the broader Social Development Goals. Her forthcoming book entitled “Egypt and the rise of fluid authoritarianism: Political ecology, power and crisis of legitimacy” is being published by Manchester University Press. Before becoming a Research Fellow at the SOAS Middle East Institute, she lectured in International Relations and Politics at the University of York. As part of her appointments, she held teaching, supervisions and research positions at the University of Exeter, Queen Mary University of London, SOAS and remains an affiliate of the University of Cambridge. She is Global Expert on Egypt and Tunisia in the ERC co-funded V-Dem project based at the University of Gothenburg and was a Global Expert on Egypt and Tunisia for the ERC funded DEMED Project led by the University of Glasgow, and a Middle East and North Africa country expert in the British Academy CITMODES-funded GLOBALCIT programme based at the European University Institute. She holds a PhD in Middle East Politics from the University of Exeter and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts.
