Biography
Jasmien Luypaert is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Political Science at Ghent University. Her research focuses on party competition, party strategies, party reforms, and social group appeals, with a particular interest in mainstream parties. Her doctoral research (FWO, 2024, Ghent University) used a mixed-methods approach—including fsQCA, conjoint experiments, and regression techniques—to investigate the causes and electoral consequences of programmatic, organizational, and personnel reforms in political parties across Western Europe from 1986 to 2020. Jasmien's work has been published in journals such as International Political Science Review, Political Studies Review, and Acta Politica. In her current postdoctoral project (FWO, 2024–2027), she examines (1) how mainstream parties’ social group appeals in their manifestos across Western Europe have evolved over time (1960–2024) and (2) the electoral consequences of these social group appeals, both independently and when combined with policy appeals (personal website).
