Professor Keith Dowding
Position: Professor and Head of Program Keith Dowding joined the programme in July
2007 from the London School of Economics (where he retains a
small role). He works in both empirical political science
and in political theory. He has three major research projects
on the go at the moment. 1. The Careers of Cabinet Ministers
(with Torun Dewan,
Sami
Berlinski and Gita
Subrahmanyam) – examining what leads ministers to
be appointed, promoted and sacked (though so far he has concentrated
upon the sacking). So far this research has been exclusively
concerned with British ministers, but Keith hopes to extend
the research to Australia. 2. Exit and Voice and a Means
of Enhancing Service Delivery – a British ESRC funded
study (with Peter
John) on service delivery in the UK. 3. The Measurement
of Rights and Freedoms (with Martin
van Hees) – a more philosophical project though one
which Keith hopes will have some empirical aspects down the
line. He is joint editor of the Journal
of Theoretical Politics. Full
