DeFacto - A Political Science Online Platform (Agora project)
2015 - 2017  (26  mois)
Requérant·e: Fabrizio Gilardi, Georg Lutz (co-)
The objective of the project was to create an online publication platform to publish articles on Swiss political science research for the politically interested public. The platform was a response to the growing gap between the theoretical and methodological re-quirements of international scientific publications in social sciences and the interest of a wider public.

Networks or good campaigns? Electoral success of Swiss candidates in the 2015 elections
2015 - 2018  (37  mois)
Requérant·e: Georg Lutz, André Mach (co-)
Autres collaborateurs-trices: André Mach, Primavesi Riccardo
This project studies the impact of networks and campaigning of candidates running for national elections in Switzerland in the 2015 elections on their electoral success.This project will contribute to understanding better how candidates compete in elections and what matters for them to get preference votes and to get elected. Candidates play a crucial role in many electoral democracies, because they are the direct link between voters and decision-making processes within parties, in parliaments and governments. Therefore, to understand more about how candidates compete and what matters for their success is essential to understand the process of representation. We will look at the role of candidates in Switzerland.

Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES)
The CSES is a collaborative program of research among election study teams from around the world. Participating countries and provinces include a common module of survey questions in their post-election studies. The resulting data are deposited along with voting, demographic, district and macro/electoral system variables. The studies are then merged into a single, free, public dataset for use in comparative study and cross-level analysis.
Georg Lutz is member of the planning committee of CSES since 2014.
