Alex Honeker

Welcome!

I am a Lecturer in the Department of Political Science at Clemson University. Previously, I was an Instructional Assistant Professor of Political Science at Texas A&M University at Qatar. I received my PhD in Political Science from the University of Pittsburgh. I hold a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Mississippi and an M.A. in Public Policy from Universidad Torcuato Di Tella.

My research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of comparative political behavior, international political economy, and party politics. I study individual attitudes and party competition on globalization-related issues, with a special focus on international trade and economic globalization, and the role populist parties play in the globalization backlash. I explore these topics with a regional focus on Europe and the United States, and employing survey experiments, observational data, and quantitative text analysis.

My work has been published in the Review of International Political Economy, Foreign Policy Analysis, Party Politics, and Electoral Studies.
