Abstract

Methodology

Geographic Coverage

Universe

977 election programs/manifestos of relevant parties in the EU published ahead of the election to the European Parliament in each EC/EU country between 1979 and 20014. Relevant parties in the EC/EU are parties that have been represented in the European Parliament at least once.

Selection Method

Total universe of party manifestos in the EU. The starting point for the coding of Euromanifestos for any single party is the election to the EP in which the party was able to achieve representation for the first time.
