Tarek Jaziri-Arjona

I am a PhD candidate in Social and Political Science at the European University Institute. My research focuses on political behavior, political norms and the dynamics of the radical right in Europe, exploring how its rise is moderated by social ties. I also study the interplay of female political representation, norms, and behaviors, as well as the political integration of immigrants. My methodological approach focuses on quantitative methods and causal inference.

I earned my M.A. in Social Sciences from IC3JM-University Carlos III, and I have further enriched my academic experience with research visits at NYU and LSE.
