Daniel Ziblatt is the Paul Sack Associate Professor of Political Economy in the Department of Government at Harvard University and a Faculty Associate of Harvard's Center for European Studies. His research is in comparative politics and comparative historical analysis, focusing on state-building, democratization, federalism, and European politics. He is the author of Structuring the State: The Formation of Italy, Germany, and the Puzzle of Federalism, (Princeton University Press, 2006), awarded three major prizes by the American Political Science Association, including the 2007 award for Best Book in European Politics.

He is currently writing a book entitled Conservative Political Parties and the Birth of Modern Democracy in Europe, 1848-1950 that offers a new interpretation of the historical democratization of Europe. His most recent work from that project has appeared in the American Political Science Review and in World Politics. He has been the recipient of the 2009 APSA Luebbert Prize for best comparative politics paper published in 2008 and the Sage Prize for best comparative paper presented at APSA's 2008 annual meeting.
