Name:

Dr Christoph Arndt

Job Title:

Lecturer in Comparative Politics

Responsibilities:

Biography:

I received my PhD in Political Science from Department of Political Science, Aarhus University in 2011, following a master's degree in sociology. Prior to arriving at the University of Reading I was postdoc and assistant professor at Aarhus University. During this time, I worked on a project on how new cultural issues such as immigration, law and order and national identify have reshaped electoral alignments and party politics in Denmark since 1968. An ongoing comparative project with myself as Co-investigator further examines how welfare state reforms affects support for the incumbent government and how policy-makers strategically act to hide the consequences of unpopular decisions and policies. I am currently working on a project that investigates popular support for climate change policies and also investigates how populist parties can break the cordon sanitaire that is put around them.
