EVA HOXHA

PhD Candidate @ University of Gothenburg

About me…

I am currently a PhD candidate and teaching at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. My research focuses on the role of radical political parties in public policy. I am particularly interested in how radical parties influence the early stages (issue attention) and the later stages of policy-making (laws and budget allocation).
