TransDeM simultaneously works in different research areas. In this page you can see the on-going and finished projects:
Migrademo Project (2019-2024) Ongoing
Principal Investigator: Eva Østergaard-Nielsen.
MIGRADEMO is a European Research Council (ERC) funded project which examines the impact of migration on democratic participation and processes in countries of origin. It is hosted by the Department of Political Science at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and will run until 2024.
The MIGRADEMO research shifts the attention from the focus on what happens when migrants arrive in countries of settlement to the impact on countries of origin. Comparing the content, scope and processes of democratic diffusion will contribute to our knowledge of the conditions under which migration can influence democratic practices.

SOCIALEU-European social policy and eurosceptic challenges (2019-2021) Recently completed
Principal Investigator: Irina Ciornei.
SOCIALEU is funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union under Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.
The SOCIALEU project investigates the role of a redistributive EU social policy in fostering citizen support for the Union. In particular, the project analyses the agenda-setting on social rights at the supranational level and subsequently inquires whether the provision of social benefits by EU institutions increases support for European integration and has the potential to turn populist party voters towards mainstream political parties.
Cooperation Policies for Peace: Comparative Analysis of Catalan and Valencian Public Policies (2015-2019) Recently completed
Principal Investigator: Míriam Acebillo Baque & Cecilie Barbeito Thonon.
Original name: Polítiques de Cooperació per a la Pau: Anàlisi Comparada de les Polítiques Públiques Catalanes i Valencianes.
This research aims to understand how public policy has responded to this degradation of security by analysing what we call peace cooperation. The methodology used is comparative policy. Thus analysing, two municipal policy contexts (Barcelona and Valencia) and two regional contexts (Catalonia and Valencia) are studied.
