Since 2018, I have led a project on the structural and institutional factors that shape democratic deliberation in contemporary democracies. This project seeks to (1) map the institutions that regulate public debate and shape processes of preference formation in contemporary democracies; (2) explain institutional variation across countries; and (3) examine the effects of these institutional differences on the quality of democracy and political attitudes. The project is funded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities.
