Research Interests
Stefanie Bailer specializes in parliamentarism research in Germany, Switzerland and Europe, decision-making processes in the European Union, and international negotiation analysis. Within the framework of these research topics, she analyzes the decision-making processes of political actors and the way in which their decisions are influenced by institutions. Current research projects deal with "Trust in politicians? What role does representation play" (SNF Weave project, 2022-2025)", "Visual Politician - how do politicians show themselves on social media?" (2021-2023) and "Perceptions of Corruption" ( in cooperation with Basel Institute on Governance, 2023-).
