A comparative, even global perspective characterises a large part of research conducted within Political Science.
The Social Science Research Institute (Samforsk) works in close collaboration with the Political Science cluster. The central research areas of Samforsk include democracy research, especially reseach on deliberative democracy, elections, voting behaviour and public opinion.
Samforsk coordinates the parliamentary election study conducted nationwide in Finland after every parliamentary election.
