Bio
Alexander Fitzpatrick is a Lecturer in Public Policy and Comparative Politics at Cardiff University’s School of Law and Politics. Alexander undertook postdoctoral research at the Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy (CITP) from 2024-25. As an Associate Fellow, Alexander continues to undertake research as part of the 'Negotiating a Turbulent World' Theme, researching the role of interest groups in affecting the policy coherence of post-Brexit trade.
Alexander completed his PhD at University College London’s Department of Political Science and School of Public Policy in 2024, researching how lobbyists and policymakers strategically consume information as part of the lobbying process, and how state context guides these behaviours in a comparative perspective. His research profile largely focuses on state-society relations, and how these relations are regulated.
