Research
Members of the Chair for Comparative Politics (Lehrstuhl für Vergleichende Politikwissenschaft) specialize in the actor-centred analysis of institutions and representation focusing on
- legislative studies;
- the study of coalition politics;
- political representation in liberal democracies;
- decision-making within key corporate actors such as political parties.
While much of the emphasis of our work is on advanced liberal democracies, members of the Unit also have a strong interest in the study of representation and electoral politics in emerging and consolidating democracies.
