Christine Rothmayr-Allison’s fields of specialization are comparative public policy (North-America and Europe), courts and public policy, policy evaluation, and Swiss politics. She is currently working on two main research projects: the first is interested in explaining legal mobilization and court impact in biotechnology policy-making in Europe and North-America (Canada, USA, Switzerland and Germany); the second analyses the use of public opinion research by the Canadian government in health policy making (biotechnology, tobacco and the future of the health care system). Dr. Rothmayr-Allison is also an experienced evaluator: she recently completed an evaluation of the Federal Gender Equality program for Swiss Universities.
