Jean-Luc Pepin Research Chair
The Jean-Luc Pepin Research Chair, established in memory of the respected politician and political scientist who taught at the University of Ottawa, is dedicated to the study of Canadian political institutions and their transformation in light of the changing conditions and practices of contemporary democratic governance. Three main themes currently guide the work and activities of the chair: the evolution of the relationship between politics and public administration and the political status of the Public Service; the evolving role and legislative career of Members of Parliament; and the emergence of a new institutional architecture to regulate political and governmental ethics in Canada.
