Coming from Carleton University, Dr. Hurrelmann's research focuses on the politicization of EU integration, that is, whether citizens in EU are paying more attention on the increase of EU powers. He is also very much interested in the concept of democracy in the EU and the EU democratic deficit. For both these project, Dr. Hurrelmann has conducted focus groups where he got in touch with EU citizens. From these focus groups rose the idea that EU citizens do not yet have a detailed understanding of the EU, but rather a general one, that makes them envisage EU institution as remote and elitist.
