The research project Representative Democracy in Europe examined the key actors of representative democracy in the 27 EU member states: voters, political parties, parliaments and governments.<\/p>\n

Central to the functioning of representative democracy is the election of political representatives to the national parliaments by the citizens, who forms the government and the stability of governments. Consequently, this project researched citizens\u2019 opinions and those of their political representatives: political parties, parliaments and governments. By combining the European Representative Democracy (ERD) Dataset <\/strong>on governments, parliaments and institutions with opinion polls, as well as with surveys of political parties, the project analysed key research questions about representative democracy in Western and Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

As the project was mainly an applied research project, the data collection was more limited. However, some additional data are available in the replication files for the publications within the project. In addition, the project corrected and updated some key variables in the ERD dataset, as well as, added the causes of cabinet termination for each cabinet. These updates was included in a final (2020) release of the ERD dataset.<\/p>\n

The research project was financed by the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation for the period 2012 \u2013 June 2019.<\/p>\n
