My research interests are divided into two main directions. On one hand, they fit within a theoretical framework based on the concepts of political culture, social capital, trust, and identity, examined also from a comparative perspective and with particular attention to gender studies. On the other hand, they focus on research paths related to the transformations of political parties in organizational, cultural, and strategic terms, also in light of recent digitalization processes, including artificial intelligence.
