Benjamin Moffitt's research explores the intersection of comparative politics, contemporary political theory and political communications, and focuses on contemporary populism across the globe. He is particularly interested in the ways in which populism is conceptualised, and how populism affects and interacts with democracy, political representation and contemporary media politics.

Benjamin's first book, The Global Rise of Populism: Performance, Political Style and Representation is out now on Stanford University Press.
