About

I am a Professor of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam. I am also co-director of the the European Elections and the Dutch Parliamentary Elections Study and I have been involved in the Comparative Studies of Electoral Systems. So far, I have been a supervisor of 18 PhD students, several of whom are now pursuing a career in academia. My research interests focus on comparative research in collective political behavior, in particular electoral behavior, right-wing populism and political parties. I published monographs, edited volumes and more than 80 scientific articles in various international journals, such as the European Journal of Political Research, the British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, West European Politics, European Union Politics, etc. A full list of my publications can be found on my university website: https://www.uva.nl/profiel/b/r/w.vanderbrug/w.van-der-brug.html
