Adriana Vizinha is a PhD candidate in Political Science at Central European University. She is particularly interested in how increasing polarization and different configurations of party system polarity affect parties’ bargaining strategies and coalition outcomes in contemporary European democracies. Methodologically, her work draws on computational approaches, including agent-based modelling, to advance the study of government formation under conditions of political instability and uncertainty. Her broader research interests include comparative politics, party systems and coalition formation, as well as computational approaches in political analysis. Adriana holds an Erasmus Mundus Master’s degree in South European Studies and a BSc in Political Science and International Relations from NOVA University of Lisbon.
