Public opinion constitutes a central dimension of democratic politics, shaping electoral behaviour, policy preferences and the legitimacy of political institutions. This line of research examines the formation and evolution of political attitudes, ideological orientations and patterns of political engagement, with particular attention to gender inequalities, generational dynamics and processes of political socialisation. It explores how individual characteristics interact with contextual factors—such as media environments, information consumption and political competition—to structure citizens’ preferences and behaviours. Recognising the complexity of contemporary democracies, this line combines longitudinal and comparative approaches to analyse phenomena such as ideological change, political polarisation and unequal participation across social groups.

In an increasingly globalised and interconnected world, international migratory movements and their management have come to be at the forefront of political discussions; ranging from policies and practices of social exclusion/inclusion at the local level, to international policies regarding human displacements linked to violent political conflicts, climate change, and rising global inequalities in the context of resource depletion. Recognising the multi-faceted characteristics of migration, this line of research encompasses analysis at various geographical scales and sites, as well as various dimensions, including discursive, legal and physical bordering practices.
