Hi! My name is Manuel Alvariño Vázquez. I am a postdoctoral researcher at the CBS (Copenhagen) since May 2025. I completed my PhD at the European University Institute (Florence) in 2025. 

My research focuses on the comparative politics of welfare state reform. I am interested in how parties, governments, interest groups, institutions, and policy feedback shape welfare state change. Empirically, much of my work examines work-family policy, childcare, parental leave, gender equality, and the politics of care, especially in Western Europe. I also study labour-market regulation, morality policy, Mediterranean party politics, and broader transformations in contemporary political economy. 

In this website you will find access to all my publications and preprints.
