Prof. Dr. Thomas Zittel
Max Weber Chair for German and European Studies at New York University
Thomas Zittel is a professor for comparative politics at Goethe-University Frankfurt, Germany. Zittel studied political science at the University of Mannheim and holds a doctorate from there (1995). Zittel was a post-doctoral researcher at the Mannheim Center for European Social Research, the University Duisburg-Essen, the International University Bruchsal, and Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich before becoming Visiting Associate Professor at Cornell University (2008-2010).
His research and teaching interests focus on the political conditions and consequences of globalization and regional integration. He has published on the effects of globalization for electoral participation and, most recently, on the incentive to adopt more proportional voting systems in a highly globalized environment. Martin has also published on the interaction of domestic conditions and external influences in spill-over processes. His current research project is on backlashes against globalization and EU integration with a focus on inequality and redistribution.
Among other journals, Martin has published in Public Choice, West European Politics, Electoral Studies, Constitutional Political Economy, and International Studies Quarterly. His book on democracy and foreign economic liberalization in developing countries was published with VS publishers (Wiesbaden).
