  A propos de l'auteur

  Frank R. Baumgartner started the US-based Policy Agendas Project with Bryan Jones over twenty-five years ago, and has been involved in its comparative extensions from the beginning. His research has variously focused on public policy processes, lobbying, agenda-setting, framing, race and criminal justice, and the death penalty. He has worked over the years in both American and comparative public policy issues.
  
  Christian Breunig is professor of comparative politics at the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Konstanz. He is interested in issues of representation and public policy, in particular law-making and budgetary politics, in advanced democracies. He directs the German Policy Agendas Project which is part of the Comparative Agendas Project.
  
  Emiliano Grossman is professor of political science at Sciences Po. He teaches comparative politics and public policy at Sciences Po, where he is the convenor of the program in 'politics and public policy'. His research concentrates on political institutions, agenda-setting processes, and the role of media in politics. He is currently co-editor of the European Journal of Political Research. He has recently co-edited The Oxford Handbook of French Politics.
