Hüseyin Emre Ceyhun

Hi! I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Politics at Princeton University, and a fellow at both the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning and the Center for International Security Studies. My research broadly focuses on the comparative politics of authoritarian institutions, digital media, and public opinion, with a regional emphasis on the Middle East and North Africa.

In my dissertation, I explore how the rise of new communication technologies reshapes intra-party dynamics within ruling parties in authoritarian parties. My recent projects investigate how authoritarian mindsets influence educational and associational landscapes in Turkey, as well as the distribution of religious spaces. My work has been published in Comparative Politics, Mediterranean Politics and other outlets. For more details on my research, please visit my Research page!

My research has been supported by Princeton’s Mamdouha S. Bobst Center for Peace and Justice, the Center for International Security Studies, and the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies. I hold a Master of Arts with High Honors in Economics from Sabanci University, and a Bachelor of Arts with High Honors in Political Science and International Relations from Bogazici University.
