Axis 2 –The practice of democratic citizenship

This axis focuses on concrete elements of the practice of citizenship: the production and consumption of information on current events, the formation of opinions on political issues and actors (including partisan preferences and voting intentions), and political participation in all its forms. The research in this axis examines crucial questions about a rapidly changing media ecosystem, partisan misalignment and the polarization of opinions, and inequalities in citizen participation.
