Tips for Writing in Political Science

Dr. Crepaz received his Ph.D. in political science in 1992 from the University of California, San Diego. His research interests include the effects of formal political institutions on policy outcomes, the impact of globalization on the viability of the state, the logic of comparative analysis, the politics and economics of advanced industrialized democracies, the process of European Union integration, and the effects of parties and interest groups on a wide range of policy outcomes. He teaches classes in comparative methods, research design, determinants of political development, introduction to comparative analysis, and politics and economics of postindustrial societies.

As a European, he travels widely in Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France and Norway. Selected publications include a co-edited book entitled "Democracy and Institutions" with the University of Michigan Press in 2000, and his most recent articles have appeared in journals such as Comparative Politics (2002), and Journal of Public Policy (2002). Dr. Crepaz is also the academic advisor for the UGA Study Abroad Program in Verona Italy, and the Coordinator of the Certificate of Global Studies.
