Democratic governments conduct extensive public opinion research, but we know little about how they use it. When and why do they seek to find out what the public thinks? Opening the black box of government polling in Germany, Anja Durovic and Tinette Schnatterer find governments exploit polls in a highly strategic way.
Working in a comparative perspective, Tinette's main research interests are political representation, and the way public opinion is constructed and mobilised by political elites.
She recently directed an ANR research project on the way the French and German governments use public opinion.
Tinette's research has been published in journals such as the British Journal of Political Science, European Journal of Political Research, Journal of Legislative Studies, French Politics, Revue française de science politique, and Politische Vierteljahresschrift.
Previously, she was a postdoctoral researcher and Margarete von Wrangell research fellow at the University of Konstanz.
