Welcome!
My name is Marko Grdesic. I am an assistant professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences, University of Zagreb and a graduate from the Department of Sociology, University of Wisconsin Madison.
I am primarily interested in social movements and political sociology. My book project based on my dissertation analyzes populism as a set of elite-mass interactions. I look at the interaction of mass and elite players in a variety of arenas and in a variety of ways. The methods vary from statistical (such as event history and time series analysis) to qualitative (focus groups, analysis of media discourses and political cartoons). The case is Serbia in 1988, when a large protest wave took place and deeply shook socialist Yugoslavia.
I also have a variety of other academic interests, such as welfare chauvinism and tinkering with code in R. I also have an interest in the big books on capitalism, from Adam Smith to Thomas Piketty. I am from Zagreb, Croatia.
