In my research I have developed a number of interconnected interests. My major research interest lies in the study of social and political organization, especially caciquismo, political hierarchies, political culture, social movements and democratisation. I have developed this interest in concrete studies of regional power groups and higher education. More recently, I also specialized in violence and insecurity in contemporary Latin America. Over the years, I have maintained a general interest in debates about development.
