She completed her PhD in Political Science at the European University Institute in Florence, defending a thesis about the determinants of legislative party switching.
Elisa's research interests include elitesâ behaviour, political parties and intra-party politics in comparative perspective.
Her recent publications include articles in Party Politics and Parliamentary Affairs.
