Mapping Policy Preferences : Estimates for Parties, Electors, and Governments 1945-1998

This unique book contains the only set of statistical estimates of party, government, and electoral preferences in 25 countries over the entire post-war period. These are based on content analyses of electoral and government programs for each election and government of the period, a task which no one else has even attempted. The printed text provides documentation and suggests uses for data, along with much other background information.
