A quarter-century after 9/11, Islamist terrorism no longer dominates headlines. But has the public really become less responsive to it? Many politicians, journalists, and scholars think so. But research by Amélie Godefroidt, Micha Germann, and Fernando Mendez suggests that Islamist attacks continue to shape political attitudes in Western democracies as much as they did two decades ago

Fernando's research sits at the intersection of comparative politics, constitutional law, and computational social science — from mapping referendums and citizens’ initiatives across Europe to studying political communication, digital democracy, and civic participation.
His publications have appeared in leading political science journals such as the British Journal of Political Science, European Journal of Political Science, Journal of European Public Policy, and Political Studies.
