Research Statement |
| | Carroll's research focuses on the cross-national study of legislatures and coalition politics across both advanced and developing democracies. He is currently working on several projects investigating the cooperation among and within political parties in legislative behavior and in the distribution of legislative power, executive offices, and government resources. Other, related research interests include methods of analyzing legislative voting and interbranch relations. |
