About

Welcome to my site! I’m Santiago, a Posdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Social Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and PhD candidate in the Department of Political Economy at King’s College London.

My research focuses on the politics of local environmental governance. I explore how bureaucratic and subnational politics shape natural resource governance in contexts of increasing fragmentation, politicisation, and inequality. While my work centres on Latin America, I am broadly interested in Global South countries and South-North comparisons.

Beyond my substantive research, I have a deep interest in research methods. I employ a diverse mix of computational, quantitative, and qualitative approaches, including social network analysis, machine learning, experimental and quasi-experimental techniques, elite interviews and historical analysis of regulatory changes.
