Abstract

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

The internal analysis of election programmes (ie. of the concerns and emphases they contain) in both the domestic and the comparative contexts.

An earlier version of this dataset is held at SN:2139. Users should note, however, that the later version does not totally supersede this version as the data does not always cover the early dates for all countries. See <i>Time Period Covered</i> for details.
A later study based on the work of the Manifesto Research Group is also held at the Archive under SN:4091.
Main Topics:

Fifty-six specially derived issue categories grouped into seven major policy areas (external relations, economic policy, social groups etc.) The coding categories are designed, as far as possible, to be comparable both between countries and over time.
