Ben Noble

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Russian Politics at University College London in the School of Slavonic and East European Studies.

I am also currently an Associate Fellow at Chatham House (the Royal Institute of International Affairs) in the Russia and Eurasia Programme; a Senior Research Fellow at the Higher School of Economics, Moscow, in the Laboratory for Regional Political Studies; and a National Committee member of the British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies.

I was previously the Herbert Nicholas Junior Research Fellow in Politics at New College, University of Oxford.

I'm interested in what legislatures do in authoritarian regimes. Specifically, my current research examines how executive actors with different policy preferences use legislative institutions to reconcile conflicts in the policy-making process. I focus on Russia and other states of the former Soviet Union.
