Tim Vlandas

I am Professor of Comparative Political Economy and Social Policy at the University of Oxford, a Fellow of the European Studies Centre at St Antony’s College and an Associate Member of Nuffield College.

I have previously held visiting positions at Harvard University, the London School of Economics, Sciences Po Paris, the European University Institute, the Institute of Social Science at the University of Tokyo and the University of Konstanz. I sit on the editorial board of the Socio-Economic Review.

My research is in comparative political economy, with a particular focus on the political determinants and consequences of social and economic policy in advanced capitalist democracies. It has been funded by the British Academy and recognised by the American Political Science Association and the European Network for Social Policy Analysis.

I am the author of three books, and my work has appeared in more than 65 publications, among them the British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, the European Journal of Political Research, Perspectives on Politics, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) and World Politics. I am currently writing a book on the political economy of ageing, under contract with Oxford University Press.

My research has been cited more than 2,200 times, including by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Labour Organization, the United Nations, the World Bank, the European Commission, the European Parliament, the European Central Bank, the Royal Society of Arts and the UK House of Commons, and by media outlets including Bloomberg, Business Insider, CNN, Die Zeit, El País, the Financial Times, Foreign Affairs, Kathimerini, La Repubblica, Le Grand Continent, The Atlantic, The Economist, The Guardian, The New York Times, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph and Vox.
