Dr Sofia Vasilopoulou has been awarded a collaborative grant with Dr Daphne Halikiopoulou (University of Reading) and Dr Kyriaki Nanou (University of Nottingham) from the Hellenic Observatory/National Bank of Greece, for her project on 'The Rise of the Golden Dawn and Its Impact on Greek Party Politics’. http://www.lse.ac.uk/europeanInstitute/research/hellenicObservatory/research/research_projects_external_2014.aspx

 

The project, which is part of the broader Comparative Agendas Project (CAP), investigates the programmatic and ideological development of the Golden Dawn and the effect of its rise on issue salience and party ideological positions as reflected in executive priorities and legislative debates.
