Introducing Idealstan

Simons

I am interested in the development of identity politics in avowedly pluralist, secular states (particularly Israel, Turkey and India) – what has caused the populations of these states, which were founded upon ideals of pluralism and tolerance, to return to a seemingly more primordial approach to politics based on clan-like allegiances? How has this shift changed the relationship between state and citizen and the nature of local democracy?

Medeiros

My research focuses on party systems and legislative politics in new democracies and multiparty presidential systems, with a particular interest in Executive-Legislative relations in Brazil. I am also interested in constitution-making processes, ideal point estimation, elections and democratic development.
