Steven M. Van Hauwaert

I am currently an Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) in Comparative Politics at the University of Surrey, as well as a Fellow at the Young Academy of Europe.

My main research fields are comparative political behaviour and challenges to (representative) democracy, particularly in Western Europe and Latin America. I am the principal investigator of the Global Public Opinions Project and a team leader for Team Populism.

My specific research areas include public opinion, responsiveness, representation and, more generally, macro-politics. I also study populism and political extremism.

I am always interested to explore new collaborations, as well as supervising ambitious and motivated research students, both at the MA and PhD level.
