Description
This seminar builds on ‘Public Opinion and the Political Process I: Theory’ and starts where that seminar ended, i.e. with a research proposal. In this seminar this proposal will be executed, data will be collected and analysed, and reported on. The report will be a first draft of a paper that will be presented in class. The comments on this presentation and first draft will be used to write a final paper of app. 7,500 words, i.e. the length of a conference paper or scientific manuscript, for the seminar. This final paper will hopefully be the basis for a paper that actually can and will be presented at a national or international conference and/or (subsequently) a manuscript that will be submitted to an international journal.
