About

I am a PhD student in Political Science at the Institute of Social Sciences - University of Lisbon (since 2009).
In my thesis - entitled “Political Development and party system institutionalisation trends in Sub-Saharan Africa 1990-2011” - I seek to explain the variation in the level of party system institutionalisation in Sub-Saharan African countries.

From September to December 2011 I will be visiting student at the University of Leiden.

Previously I was a research assistant in two projects conducted at the Institute of Social Science (University of Lisbon): the Portuguese Voting Behaviour (http://www.cep.ics.ul.pt/) and the IntUne (http://www.intune.it/).

In the scope of the IntUne I co-authored the article: “Which Europe do the Portuguese Parties Want? Identity, Representation and Scope of Governance in the Portuguese Euromanifestos (1987-2004)”, A Special Issue of Perspectives on European Politics and Society, Vol. 11, no. 2, 2010.

In result of my MA dissertation “Cape-Verdean Party System: 1991-2006” I have published two articles: one in a Portuguese African Studies Review and another in the University of Cape-Verde review.
