Datasets

Q-Dem has created databases that make it possible to explain the evolution of the political
agenda, the participation of interest groups in the political process, and the activity carried out by members of government and parliament in comparative perspective.

Note: For a better understanding, we suggest that you first consult the Codebook of our databases.
