Inhalt: Success in elections is determined by several parameters. This course draws the attention to candidates and their campaigns. We will discuss e.g. the impact of character traits and campaign modes on a successful campaign. Recent literature deals with the effect of visits by candidates, visits by campaigners, online and offline communication during campaigns. Although the focus is mainly on campaigns in European countries, we will also have a look at selected campaigns in the US. Participants should have an interest in political communication and campaign strategies. The course will be held in English. Participants are expected to read the assigned literature on a regular basis and should at least have basic skills in interpreting quantitative empirical research.
