Biography

Myrto Tsakatika (PhD Essex) joined the University of Glasgow in 2007. Previously she taught at the Athens University of Economics. She has held visiting positions at the University of Trieste, the Juan March Foundation in Madrid and the Centre Emile Durkheim at SciencesPo Bordeaux. Myrto’s research has focused on European Union politics and public policy, namely on the question of the ‘democratic ‘deficit’, trends in public Euroscepticism and new governance modes. More recently she has worked on radical left parties in comparative perspective and populism, particularly in Southern Europe (Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain).
