Laura Chaqués Bonafont is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Barcelona, and a research fellow at the Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals (IBEI). She is the director of the research group Quality of Democracy (Q-Dem) aimed to analyze the interrelation between the governmental, parliamentarian, and media agendas across time, issues, countries and levels of government. The project establishes a link between policy dynamics research and other areas of concern within political science, mainly media studies, political representation and the quality of democracy in multilevel systems of governance. It also provides new tools for the development of quantitative measurement of policy dynamics. Her last book is Agenda Dynamics in Spain (Palgrave 2014 with Frank Baumgartner and A. Palau). Her work also appears in top academic journals like Comparative Political Studies, The British Journal of Political Science, West European Politics, Political Communication, or the Journal of Public Policy among many others. At present, her main research interests are the analysis of agenda dynamics in a comparative perspective paying special attention to the role of the media, and interest groups, and (2) the analysis of the quality of democracy in multilevel systems of governance. This means to explain to what extend Europeanization and increasing regionalism affects the capacity or/and willingness of policymakers to respond to electoral promises and citizen priorities; to analyze interest groups access to the policymaking process, and their mobilization strategies in a multilevel system of governance; and to analyze how the media affects the pattern of issue prioritization of political elites. To do that, she collaborates actively with an international network of scholars -the comparative agendas project¿, aimed to provide new tools for the quantitative analysis of agenda dynamics across time, countries, policy issues, and levels of governance. In 2014 she won the ICREA prize- info
