Markus Tepe
Political System | SOCIUM | University of Bremen
Welcome.
I am a Professor of Political Science / Political System of Germany at the SOCIUM Research Center on Inequality and Social Policy at the University of Bremen. I hold a Dr. rer. pol. from the Freie Universität Berlin, and a MA in Political Science, Public Law, and Economic Policy from the University of Münster.
I spent more prolonged research stays at Yale University in the Leitner Program and the European Center at Stanford University. My research focuses on political decision-making in comparative public policies, behavioral public administration, political sociology, and research methods (see ORCID, Scopus, Google Scholar, Research Gate, SSRN).
Since the beginning of my academic career, I have volunteered for the German Political Science Association (GPSA). I served as a spokesperson of the GPSA Working Group on Analytical Political Theory (2016-2022) and currently serve as Vice-Chair of the GPSA.
