Professor Varughese’s research agenda spans three broad thematic areas, with special reference to the global south: 1) political communication and political behavior, 2) governance and democratic deepening, and 3) social policy. Broadly, his research seeks to understand how public policy can be harnessed to create equity-enhancing outcomes in the developing world. One facet of his research examines political communications in electoral and non-electoral contexts and its impact on political behavior of various political actors (voters, candidates, political parties, media) in India. Another examines the ways in which the distribution of political and economic power in poor democracies impedes or facilitates egalitarian social policy. A third facet explores governance challenges in the digital era and their impact on democratic practice in the global South, particularly South Asia.
