Introducing DiCED
Digital Campaigning and Electoral Democracy (DiCED) is a 5 year cross-national project funded by the EU as a European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Investigator grant. DiCED is designed to investigate the impact of digital technology on the organization, implementation and impact of political campaigns. The project is led by Rachel Gibson, a Professor of Political Science from The University of Manchester and includes academic partners based in Europe and the U.S. Focusing on elections in the USA, the UK, France, Germany and Poland, the project will offer one of the first systematic insights into where ‘data-driven’ campaigning is emerging, and its implications for the political behaviour and attitudes of voters, as well as party organization in these nations.
