Political Scholar is the Next Yearof Democracy Speaker
Political Science Professor Eleonora Pasotti will speak on the subject of her upcoming Cambridge University Press book Branding Cities: Post-Machine Politics in Naples, Chicago and Bogotá on April 13 at 1:30 pm in the Campus Center. Drawing on the experiences of these three cities on three continents, Pasotti will discuss how they can recover from decades of poor government, entrenched patronage, lack of development and social conflict, and make a transition to a new form of government that she calls “brand politics.”
Pasotti is an Assistant Professor of Politics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She earned her Ph.D. degree in Political Science from Columbia University and has a M.Sc. in Philosophy of the Social Sciences and B.Sc. in Economics from the London School of Economics. Since 2000, she has been a Public Policy fellow at Columbia University, a German Marshall Fund of the United States fellow, and a post-doctoral fellow at the Centre on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Stanford University. Her lecture is free and open to the public and is a Year of Democracy event.
