Research
Marc André Bodet is an Associate Professor at Université Laval, specializing in Quebec and Canadian politics in a comparative perspective. His research explores political parties and elections through various techniques of quantitative analysis, such as surveys and official electoral results. Currently, he is collaborating on research concerning the role of citizens in a responsive and responsible democracy. Research Interests Citizenship and democracy Experimental research Legislative behaviour Political institutions Political Parties Research Axis Axis 2: Practicing Citizenship in a Skeptical World - The practice of democratic citizenship is undergoing a multifaceted transition. There are fundamental changes in conceptions of democratic citizenship and in its practice as well as the targets of citizen action. Scepticism about representative democracy as a system of governance is growing and citizens across established democracies are withdrawing from politics. Their perception about the political world is impacted by transformations in the news media practices and by online content, including social media. Voting and party politics have been the basis of conventional interpretations of citizenship, but there is ample evidence that this conception is much too limited. New forms of communication are providing citizens with novel ways to gather information and to engage in politics.
