The analysis presented in this book is based on four types of data:
Aggregate data (electoral results): For national elections, the source is a new updated database compiled for the present study based on previous efforts in historical data collection (for the election of sources on Western Europe see Caramani, 2000: 1017–53; on Central and Eastern Europe the main source is Nohlen and Stöver, 2010). For elections to the European Parliament (EP) since 1979 the main source is the European Database at NSD in Bergen.
Individual data (surveys): The sources of data are Eurobarometers (EB, Mannheim Trend File) and European Social Surveys (ESS).
Text data (party manifestos): The source of data is the Comparative Manifesto Project (CMP). See Budge et al. (2001) and Klingemann et al. (2006), as well as online updates.
Membership data (cabinet composition): The source of data is the ParlGov database (Döring and Manow, 2010).
