Welcome
Currently, I am a visiting researcher at the New York University. From 2006 through 2009, I worked at the Center for Comparative and International Studies of the University of Zurich. Currently I am working in the project National Political Change in a Globalizing World. In this project, we try to assess the transformation of the cleavage structure in Western European countries induced by globalization.
My research has two main focuses. On the one hand, I study the processes of economic liberalization in a comparative perspective. Here, I am particularly interested in industrial relations, political conflict and the analysis of social cleavages. On the other hand, I focus on the application of computional linguistic techniques and tools for text analyses in social sciences.
