Welcome to my page

I am a Political Science Associate Professor at Universidad Pablo de Olavide.

My research is mainly focused in North African political dynamics. My main research interest are:

• Comparative Politics

• Euro-Mediterranean Politics

• Democratization/Democratic backslide

• Populism

• Tunisian Politics

I am currently leading the project “Dissatisfaction, Populism and Authoritarianism in North Africa: Tunisia as a Case Study” funded by Universidad Pablo de Olavide and I have participated in four research projects related to North African Politics financed by the Spanish Governement.

I am part of the reseach groups Group for the Study of Arab and Muslim Societies (GRESAM), Politics, Territory and Participation, Political and Electoral Observatory for the Arab and Muslim World (OPEMAM) and the Research Forum on the Arab and Muslim World (FIMAM).

I've been visiting fellow at the Paris Center for Internation Studies (CERI-Science Po) and electoral observer in Tunisian elections for OPEMAM in 2018 and 2019.
