Political Economy and eDemocracy
: Overview and News
Welcome to the Professorship for Political Economy and eDemocracy
The Political Economy and eDemocracy group is led by Professor Barton Lee.
The group's goal is to understand and, in turn, improve democratic decision making. We analyse the behaviour of political actors and the role of political institutions in shaping policy. In addition, we explore the potential benefits – as well as the threats – posed to democracies by new technologies and digitisation. Methodologically, we utilise theoretical and empirical tools from economics, political science, and computer science.
