The central research theme of this Joint Research Group will be the analysis of democratic governance. This includes political participation, political representation, political parties and elections. We analyze these processes in a comparative way and across levels of governance.
The collaboration focuses on the common core theme of our research, i.e. the analysis and evaluation of democratic governance, in particular processes of political participation and representation, political parties and elections (Belgian, comparative and European level). That includes the continuation of collaborative projects on the evolution of party organizations, party membership, strategic voting, the evolution of electoral systems, the impact of electoral systems on representational roles, the analysis of voting behavior (in particular personal voting and strategic voting).
In het kader van een projectopdracht voor het Brusselse Hoofdstedelijk Gewest werkt BRIO samen met CEVIPOL (ULB) over ‘democratic governance’. In 2017 werd een eerste rapport voorgesteld. Na een informatievergaderronde met interviews van de Brusselse burgemeesters en andere Brusselse beleidsmakers volgt een tweede rapportering.
