Guillermo Cordero
Guillermo Cordero is a Full Professor in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). Previously he held pre-doctoral research positions at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (CEACS, Juan March Institute) in Madrid and post-doctoral teaching and research positions at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona.
He has been visiting research fellow at the University of Essex, the University of Michigan, the Universität Mannheim, the Université de Montréal and the University of California, Berkeley.
His research career has developed through collaborations with groups of international prestige and recognition. He has contributed to 16 research projects on the study of political behavior and analysis of political elites; six of them large-scale international studies incorporating dozens of participating countries.
He is Principal Investigator (PI) of the research project “Descomponiendo el Voto a Partidos de Derecha Radical entre los Jóvenes: Precariedad Laboral, Insatisfacción con la Democracia e Inmigración” (Decomposing the Vote for Radical Right Parties among Young People: Job Precarity, Dissatisfaction with Democracy and Immigration).
He has also been PI of the research Project “¿Ayuntamientos plurales? La representación política de los inmigrantes en España” (Diverse City Councils? The political representation of immigrants in Spain), with Santiago Pérez-Nievas.
He is the Director of the Research Group “Actores y Élites Políticas” (Political Actors and Elites), based at the UAM. The research group, with 18 researchers (16 of whom hold PhDs), aims to analyze the strategies of the different actors involved in political life in modern states, with special attention to populist parties.
Cordero is also Chair of the Research Network “Political Parties, Party Systems and Elections” (with Daniela Piccio) at the Council for European Studies (CES), a network of 60 scholars created to improve understanding of political parties, party systems and elections.
In relation to his research career, he has 23 papers published (18 Journal Citation Reports (JCR); three in Decile 1; nine in Quartile 1; six in Quartile 2) in international peer reviewed journals such as Political Studies Review, Government & Opposition, Parliamentary Affairs, South European Society & Politics and West European Politics, among others; two edited books (Routledge and Palgrave) and 12 book chapters (CIS, OUP and Routledge, among others). The quality of these publications can be verified not only by their position in trusted rankings, such as JCR, but also by the large number of citations that the work has received (1,095 citations; 875 in the last five years).
As Guest Editor, Cordero has coordinated three special issues (in the American Behavioral Scientist Journal and Frontiers in Political Science) and two edited books (Palgrave and Routledge).
In relation to his services to the discipline, he has been Vice-Dean of Research and Innovation (2018-2022), member of the Faculty Board (2015-2022), and Academic Secretary of Department (2015-2018) at the UAM. He has also organized a number of forums and seminars: a Research Methods Workshop at the PhD UAM Program (2015-2017); Research Forums of the PhD UPF Program (2013-2015); and the UAM Biannual Seminars for PhD Candidates (2008-2011), among others.
Lastly, in relation to knowledge transference, Cordero has collaborated with different private institutions, co-authorizing reports for Fundación La Caixa (Impacto de Caixa Forum en la Ciudad de Sevilla 2019 and 2021; Impact of Caixa Forum in the City of Seville), Abengoa (Informe sobre Satisfacción de los Empleados 2008; Employee Satisfaction Report) and Fundación Alternativas (Informe sobre la Democracia en España 2007 and 2008; Report on Democracy in Spain); Informe sobre La Responsabilidad Corporativa en España 2007; Report on Corporate Responsibility in Spain), among others.

approach based on the online survey technique is used. The questionnaire was launched in July 2021 through the Qualtrics platform and was answered by 2,803 citizens residing in Brazil (726), Spain (682), the United States (694), and India (702). Results: We found a connection between ideology and confidence in traditional media, strongly conditioned by the socio-political context. In addition, right-wing citizens tend to trust the information they receive from digital platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp better than left-wing citizens. This uneven impact of trust in the media could result in a heterogeneous effect of fake news, with right-wing citizens most likely believing political news appearing on social media. Discussion and Conclusions: This article contributes to expanding prior knowledge about the trust in mainstream and social media, with considerable emphasis on the factors that have a predominant influence in four countries with different social and political structures and media systems: Spain, United States, India, and Brazil. In this context, it has been observed how ideology is an essential factor in all of them. When this relevant variable is controlled for, and despite what previous studies had determined (Newman et al., 2021), factors such as educational or income level do not seem to play a significant role.
