Research infrastructure
REPDEM provides access to world-leading databases for research on the struggle for government power in parliamentary democracies.
The data archive contains information on governments, parliaments, and political parties for parliamentary (mainly European) democracies. This information has primarily been collected in collaboration with a network of country experts, but also through an extensive review of public documents and available research. The database contains information on all parliaments and governments formed since 1918. The data can, for example, be used for studies on government formation, coalition governance, and government termination, but can also be connected to studies on political opinion and the effects of political systems in various social areas. The database is open-access and has been used for a significant amount of research and peer-reviewed publications.Image[Fotograf saknas]
