Call for PhD applications

Populism, Nationalism, and Authoritarianism: Mobilization Strategies and 
Discursive Repertoires

Available scholarships: 2 (one in Political Science, one in History)

Application deadline: March 31, 2020

The joint doctoral fellowship program Populism, Nationalism, and 
Authoritarianism: Mobilization Strategies and Discursive Repertoires 
brings together students and faculty researching nationalism from 
different disciplinary perspectives, with a particular focus on the 
complex and ramified relationship between authoritarianism and 
nationalism. The main objective of the interdepartmental cooperation is 
to integrate different disciplinary approaches in order to facilitate 
the regional, comparative, and global study of populist strands of 
nationalist politics. The study plan is designed to help students 
combine conceptual and methodological tools to generate conceptual and 
methodological tools to generate new insights into the discursive 
repertoires of political actors as well as the use of populist frames 
and topoi in everyday political interaction. The fellowship is intended 
to facilitate the combination of macro-institutional (top-down) and 
micro-political (bottom-up) perspectives on p
 opulist mobilization.

 On the Political Science track we are particularly interested in 
project proposals that deal with the intersection of authoritarian and 
nationalism discourses, the interactions between dynamics of 
authoritarian regimes and their nation-building policies, the 
construction and application of nationalism ideas for authoritarian 
legitimation and consolidation. On the History track we deal with 
questions such as the historical relationship of nationalism, populism 
and authoritarianism, historical instances of mobilization of ?uncivil 
societies?, the reconstruction of ideological traditions of 
authoritarianism and corporatism, as well as the morphology of 
authoritarian nationalist regimes and movements. We are open to both 
quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches as well as to 
in-depth regional studies and/or comparative research. Candidates should 
have an interest in theoretical problems related to populism, 
nationalism and authoritarianism.

Each student will have two supervisors, one from his or her ?home? 
department, and the other from the Nationalism Studies Program.  The 
Ph.D. program consists of two major phases: coursework and examination, 
and dissertation research and writing. Within the coursework, the PhD 
students  will take core courses in the Nationalism Studies Program, 
including a Ph.D. seminar on populism and neo-nationalisms, with the aim 
of familiarizing themselves with various historical and normative 
approaches to a common field of inquiry.  They will also have to satisfy 
the course and examination requirements of their respective doctoral 
programs, i.e. the Doctoral School of Political Science, International 
Relations, and Public Policy, and the Department of History.

Candidates must indicate their interest in the fellowship in their 
application submitted to the Doctoral School of Political Science, 
Public Policy and International Relations or the Doctoral Program in 
Comparative History.
