Since June 2008 the Montesquieu Institute (MI) is taking part in a comparative research on the creation of public and political agendas. The research is led by Dr. Arco Timmermans i and by Dr. Gerard Breeman. The main goal of this research is to shed light upon when and why political attention is given to certain policies or political themes.
The research is part of a larger international cooperation between research teams in the United States and Europe in which a common theoretical perspective and research strategy is developed. The MI is focusing on the influence of the EU agenda on the 'politics of attention' in the Netherlands.
The research results will be made available online in order to enhance public insight into the functioning of democratic institutions.
