He has held a British Academy/Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowship and in 2006-2007 he was the Rita E.

[edit] Research
Capoccia's recent research has focused on the analysis of causes and consequences of the strategies adopted by democratic governments to control extremist dissent. He recently completed a comparative study on inter-war Europe, which provided the material for several journal articles and a monograph entitled Defending Democracy (Johns Hopkins University Press 2005 [paperback 2007]).[4] His current project, for which he has received funding from the British Academy, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies at Harvard University, the Research Development Fund of Oxford University, and the Nuffield Foundation, focuses on the analysis of responses to extremist dissent in contemporary Western European democracies. The resulting monograph, entitled Militant Democrats, is under contract with Johns Hopkins University Press and will be completed in 2008.[5]
