Introduction
I am the Head of Election Research at Institute H21 and hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from Masaryk University (CZ). My research focuses on elections, electoral integrity, democracy, and (de-)democratization. Previously, I worked as a researcher at the Political Science Department of the University of Hradec Králové and at INESAN. I conducted research visits at the University of Twente (NL) (supervised by Dr. Van Ham), and the Central European University (HU) (supervised by Prof. Schneider).

People in some countries are allowed to have more than one citizenship. This allows them to vote in elections in more countries. My immediate reaction to this is that it increases inclusivity which is good. However, even more I think about this from let's say "global citizen's" perspective this seems to me somehow unfair in the sense of unequal vote (some people can influence the politics in more countries than others). I think it's pretty tricky question because it has as pros as cons for integrity of elections. What is your idea about this?
Hi, I am looking for some empirical data (survey) dealing with public (or expert) confidence in electoral system(s) (preferably data on the trust in systems' mechanisms, not the whole electoral process - but it depends on the formulation of the question)... any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
As a novice in the field of political culture, this thinking has lead me to this question. There are various backgrounds for understanding political culture. For some, it is characterised more on the societies' wealth (and value change) (Inglehart, Welzel) while others speak about a social capital (Putnam), etc. But in certain circumstances it could be difficult to see a mechanism through which these approaches operate. If institutions are ineffective to punish somebody for breaking the law civil society should put these institutions under pressure and force them to punish offender. The problem is when civil society mobilizes. When it finds the situation as necessary for improvement. Therefore my question is whether there exists some concept of political culture which deals with such a problem.
