"Regional Manifestos Project.
Extending the Manifesto Dataset to Sub-national Elections":
this is a collaboration project between the WZB and the
¬ IESA-CSIC,
co-ordinated by Sonia Alonso (WZB) and Braulio Gómez (IESA-CSIC).
We propose to elaborate a dataset of the electoral programs
presented by parties in sub-national elections, beginning
with the case of Spain. In order to do so, we will build on
the existing
> Comparative Manifestos Project, hosted at the WZB and maintained by Andrea Volkens.
The project has received funding from the Ministry of
Science and Innovation of Spain.
