Patrick Merle, assistant professor in the School of Communication, wrote an article for the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) on the Le Pen family, currently in the news for a familial dispute.

With family politics merging with public politics, Merle wrote a succinct review of the family’s feud. The article was published on LSE’s website and the full version can be read here.

Before becoming a professor, Merle was an French journalist, international reporter and writer, often covering political communication. His work has appeared in the Associated Press, Agence France Presse and more. Keep up with him on Twitter, @patrickmerle.
