Job Description

This project is motivated by the need to improve the quality of democratic participation by citizens to attain better democratic and development outcomes. We propose to study to what extent civic education causally improves civic participation. We study its implication for citizen participation in democracy, respect for fellow citizens, democratic values, and redistribution. Incredibly, while dozens of countries, NGOs, and aid organizations around the world invest in civic education, there is no RCT or well-identified observational evaluation that assesses its effectiveness. In the context of democratic backsliding, it is crucial to understand what policies can support democracy. Can civic education contribute to overcoming political polarization and strengthen democratic attitudes and commitmentsCan it lead to a more informed citizenry and increase participationAnd can it do so this durablyThe knowledge generated by this project will contribute to placing policy efforts involving civic education on a credible basis of evidence rather than on untested normative presumptions.
The project is led by Prabhat Barnwal (Michigan State University), Enrique Seira (Michigan State University), and Alberto Simpser (ITAM, Mexico).
