"Policy and Party Competition "(1992) established itself as one of
the mainstream data sources used by political scientists, when
exploring the policy positions of political parties and has become
a standard data resource for comparative political science.
This new book updates and radically extends this work, providing a
wide-ranging empirical overview of party policy in 47 modern
democracies, including all of the new democracies of Eastern
Europe. The book is divided into three parts:
- Part I introduces the study, themes and methodology
- Part II contains a set of substantive chapters dealing in
depth with the wide range of issues involved in the estimating and
analyzing the policy positions of key political actors.
- Part III is the data section identifying the key policy
dimensions in each of the 47 countries, party positions and median
legislators on each of these, and a two-dimensional representation
of each party system.
This book will prove to be an invaluable reference for all
political scientists, particularly those interested in party policy
and comparative politics.
