We are delighted to announce that Alexander Baturo has been appointed co-editor of the Comparative Politics series, published by the ECPR with Oxford University Press.
Alexander Baturo is an Associate Professor in Political Science at Dublin City University. His research interests include comparative politics, comparative authoritarianism, political leadership, comparative political institutions, post-Soviet politics, UN politics, and computational social science.
Alongside his excellent journal publication record, Alexander has written two monographs and three edited books, one of which, Democracy, Dictatorship, and Term Limits (University of Michigan Press, 2014) won the Brian Farrell book prize in 2015. Along with Jos Elkink, Alexander is the co-author of his own Comparative Politics Series title - The New Kremlinology: Understanding Regime Personalisation in Russia, published 2021, providing him with insight into the author experience.
Alexander’s specialisms in the comparative politics of dictatorships, democratisation, democratic backsliding, and comparative politics outside of Europe will complement the strengths of the current co-Editor, Nicole Bolleyer and support in developing the global scope of the series further.
I am looking forward to this new role, specifically, the opportunity to build upon the rich intellectual tradition of comparative politics research published through monographs, associated with great books by Jean Blondel, Peter Mair, Adam Przeworski, Giovanni Sartori, and Philippe Schmitter, among others. I hope to be able to continue to develop the global scope of the series further by attracting novel frontier research in comparative politics across its sub-disciplines, beyond European politics and across regime types.
Published by the ECPR in association with Oxford University Press, the Comparative Politics series has been devoted to the comparative study of contemporary government and politics, since 1990. Global in scope, books in the series are characterised by a stress on comparative analysis and strong methodological rigour.
The series aims to publish cutting-edge, in-depth analyses on a variety of topics, and to provide a forum for scholars to share their work on themes ranging from democracy, electoral reform, money and politics, parliaments, cabinets and coalitions, representation, political leaders and personalisation, party organisations and intra-party democracy, democratic linkage and public opinion.
