Sacha RANGONI

Bio

Sacha Rangoni is conducting a thesis in political science in which he analyzes the relationship of French-speaking Belgian elected officials to citizen participation. To do this, he examines the role played by institutional constraints as well as individual differences in shaping their attitudes. In general, he is interested in all forms of participatory processes and the actors involved.

As part of his thesis, he develops and mobilizes a variety of empirical and theoretical tools to address his research question and thus achieve the most comprehensive overview possible of elected officials' attitudes toward participation. This notably involves the use of different qualitative methods for data collection and analysis.

During his research, he has had the opportunity to observe and participate in numerous participatory processes led by public authorities as well as private actors. Additionally, he regularly interacts with participation actors, whether they are elected officials, members of the administration, cabinets, or civil society.
