Current research projects
Spanish Policy Agendas Project (IP)
(http://www.ub.edu/spanishpolicyagendas)
The goal of this project is to analyze policy dynamics in Spain from transition to
democracy to present in a comparative perspective. This means to explore the
interrelation between the governmental, parliamentarian and media agendas across time,
issues, countries and levels of government. The project establishes a link between
policy dynamics research and other areas of concern within political science, mainly
media studies, political representation and the quality of democracy in a multilevel
system of government. It also provides of new tool for the development of quantitative
measurement of policy dynamics. For the last years, we have created comprehensive
and far-reaching datasets, which account for more than 200.000 records, about the
Spanish political and media agenda following the methodology of the comparative
agendas project (lead by Prof. B Jones and F. Baumgartner)
Comparative research on interest groups in a multilevel system of governance (IP)
http://www.intereuro.eu/
The goal of this research project is to promote a comprehensive theoretical and
empirical understanding of the role that interest groups play in multilevel systems of
governance. To do that we develop a comprehensive database in order to map out which
interest organizations have participated, discussing which issues, across different policy
venues for the last decades in Spain. The analysis shares some of the theoretical and
methodological bases with two other international projects, the Intereuro (lead by Prof.
2
D. Lowery) and Interarena (lead by Prof. A. Binderkrantz), which allows for the
comparison of results with other advanced democracies.
