Profile
Asli Unan is an Assistant Professor of European Political Economy in the European Studies Department at the University of Amsterdam. Before joining this position, she was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Comparative Political Behavior at Humboldt University of Berlin. Asli obtained her PhD in Political Economy from King's College London, focusing on the dynamics of policy-making, particularly policy reversals and their connection to transboundary crises.
Her research centers on understanding the dynamics of attitude and policy position changes among political elites and citizens, specifically on multilayered policy issues such as immigration and climate change. Asli explores ways to garner broader public support for such costly policies and investigates the impact of transboundary crises on shaping these positions. She is also interested in identifying the potential preference (mis)alignment between political elites and the public. She specializes in causal methods and is conducting survey and field experiments. Her geographical interest lies in Europe and the MENA region. Asli is a regular co-author of internationally peer-reviewed journal articles in political science and political economy, and her work has been featured in journals such as the Journal of Politics, Electoral Studies, PLOS ONE, and Regulation & Governance.
