The Center for the Study of Democratic Citizenship is a small research center consisting of five faculty members of the Political Science Department of the University of Cincinnati. We have been up and running since 1991. Our broad mission is to investigate the nature of citizenship in modern democratic society. As our research Agenda has evolved we have focused on four areas of concern which reflect the interest of our fellows:

1. The potential for new forms of democracy citizenship created by the Internet
2. Political participation and political conversation
3. Exit polling
4. Local political parties and reforms in local government
