Jean-Luc was the son of Alexandre Parodi, a Councillor of State and a member of the French Resistance.[1] His uncle, René Parodi, was made a Companion of the Liberation posthumously, following his death in 1942.
Parodi studied at Sciences Po, writing a memoir under the direction of Jean Touchard [fr] and earning his degree in 1960. He also wrote a thesis on the political system of the French Fifth Republic under the direction of René Rémond. He earned a doctorate in political science in 1974.[2]
In 1964, he became a researcher at the Centre de recherches politiques de Sciences Po [fr] (CEVIPOF), where he stayed for the entirety of his career. He served as Secretary-General of the Association française de science politique [fr] from 1980 to 1999 and directed the Revue française de science politique from 1991 to 2008. He was also heavily involved with the Institut français d'opinion publique, where he was a pioneer in the analysis of political polls. He was the first person to predict a presidential election in France in 1965 and the first to analyze municipal elections in 1983.[3]
Parodi carried out political research at the Presses Universitaires de France alongside Olivier Duhamel, moving to Éditions du Seuil in 1993 after a nomination from Pascal Gauchon [fr].[4] He was an Officer of the National Order of the Legion of Honour.[5]
