Party Policy in Modern Democracies

Policy and Party Competition (1992) established itself as one of the main-

stream 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 demo-

cracies, including all of the new democracies of Eastern Europe. The book

is divided into three main sections:

• 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 estimating and analyzing the policy

positions of key political actors.

• Part III offers an extensive data appendix, identifying the key policy

dimensions in each of the 47 countries, party positions 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 scien-

tists, particularly those interested in party policy and comparative politics.

College, Dublin. Michael Laver is Professor of Politics at New York Uni-
