Dr Diego Garzia

 

Dr Diego Garzia holds a PhD in ‘Comparative and European Politics’ from the University of Siena. He previously studied at the Universities of Rome “Sapienza”, Leiden, and Oxford, and is currently a Jean Monnet post-doctoral fellow at the EUI’s Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies.

The long-term focus of his research is on the drivers of voters’ choice in Western Europe. He explains: “During my studies, I have heard that people would do a much better job as voters if they had all the relevant information. Based on this normative expectation, my actual research project investigates the potential of web-based Voting Advice Applications to affect voters’ behavior in both quantitative (turnout) and qualitative (party choice) terms.”

Over the last few years, he has authored numerous academic papers and professional reports, including articles accepted for publication in the Journal of Political Marketing, Political Psychology, Political Research Quarterly, The Leadership Quarterly, and World Political Science Review.
