Carlo Invernizzi Accetti is Full Professor of Political Science at The City College of New York (CUNY); Associate Researcher at the Center for European Studies of the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po); and Visiting Professor of European Politics at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA).

His research is at the point of intersection of democratic theory and comparative EU/US party politics. It combines a historical approach with a concern for contemporary normative issues, relating in particular to the relationship between politics and religion, the rise of populism and technocracy as structuring poles of electoral competition, and the ideological reconfigurations taking place in advanced Western Democracies.

He has published three monographs, two edited volumes, and over two dozen articles in top international peer-reviewed journals on topics such as: populism and technocracy, political ideologies and party politics in Western Europe and the United States, militant democracy, referendums, and the philosophical foundations of human rights.

Professor Invernizzi Accetti is also a regular commentator on European and US political affairs for venues including: the New York Times, The Financial Times, The Guardian, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, The Wall Street Journal, La Repubblica, Quartz, Le Monde Diplomatique, and France 24.
