Noam Lupu (PhD, Princeton University), a visiting fellow for the fall semester, researches the dynamics of partisan politics and political behavior in Latin America in the context of economic and political transition. He is interested in how structural contexts condition voter preferences and behavior.
In his project, “Partisanship, Brand Dilution, and the Breakdown of Political Parties in Latin America,” Lupu explores how the dilution of party brands eroded partisan attachments and facilitated the collapse of established parties. The work is based on fieldwork that nested a behavioral experiment within a larger comparative study. Lupu plans to expand the project with empirical tests from outside the region as well as to generalize his innovative methodology and offer guidance on case selection.
In fall 2013, Lupu will become assistant professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, after spending a year as a junior researcher at the Juan March Institute in Madrid.
