Description

Mathieu Dufresne’s research examines the relationship between litigation practices, political regulation, and institutional change. He studies how various actors—including citizen groups, public administrations, and civil society organizations—mobilize legal frameworks to influence decision-making processes. His work pays particular attention to political legitimacy and the effects of judicial intervention on contemporary governance structures. He also contributes to comparative international projects exploring transformations in democratic institutions and the evolving role of legal mechanisms in public action.
