    PD Dr. Thomas Zittel

    Research Interests: My research focuses on the structural, the behavioral and the normative foundations of modern representative democracy with an emphasis on issues of electronic democracy, election campaigns, legislative behavior, the personalization of politics, and party government. My further research interests are in the areas of participatory democracy and political participation.

    Recent Experience: I studied political science at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and at the University of Mannheim in Germany, where I received my PhD and where I completed my Habilitation with a venia legendi for political science. Prior to coming to Cornell, I held appointments at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (acting chair, W2), University of Duisburg-Essen (acting chair, C3), and University of Mannheim (assistant professor). I received a number of international fellowships such as a Fernand Braudel Fellowship from the European University Institute at Florence, a John F. Kennedy Memorial Fellowship from the Minda de Gunzburg Centre for European Studies at Harvard University, and a Research Fellowship from the Max-Planck Centre for Social Research in Cologne. I directed several research projects at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES) that received funding from the German National Science Foundation and the Fritz-Thyssen-Foundation.

    Recent Publications: My most recent publications are Individualized Campaigns in Mixed Member Systems. Candidates in the German Federal Elections 2005 (West European Politics 31, 2008: 978-1003; with Thomas Gschwend), Neue Formen der digitalen Wählerkommunikation im gemischten Wahlsystem? - Eine quantitative und qualitative Untersuchung persönlicher Webseiten im Deutschen Bundestag (Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft 18, 2008: 183-206), Participatory Democracy and Political Participation: Can Participatory Engineering Bring Citizens Back In? (Routledge/ECPR Studies in European Political Science Series, 2007; co-edited with Dieter Fuchs), and Comparative Legislative Behavior (Oxford Handbook of Political Institutions, Oxford University Press, 2006, pp. 455-473; with Eric Uslaner)
