Cesi Cruz and Horacio Larreguy explore what research tells us about the causes and consequences of political polarisation – and the interventions that could help societies manage political disagreement in VoxDev video series "Economics Unpacked."
VoxDev is a platform for economists, policymakers, practitioners, donors, the private sector, and others interested in development to discuss key policy issues. Expert contributors provide insightful commentary, analysis, and evidence on a wide range of policy challenges in formats that we hope are accessible to a wide audience interested in development.
Cesi Cruz is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and the Department of Economics (by courtesy). She works on topics at the intersection of political science and economics, including elections, misinformation, gender, and inclusive development. Her research is based on fieldwork in Cambodia and the Philippines and combines social network analysis, surveys, and field experiments. Her work has been published in outlets such as the American Political Science Review, American Economic Review, American Journal of Political Science, Economic Journal, and Comparative Political Studies.
