Descripción de la imagen

The Regional Manifestos Project is an ambitious, long-term project, conceived to serve as a comparative cross-country endeavour. The funding obtained so far has allowed us to create a dataset that currently covers over 500 cases in 39 regions in Spain, United Kingdom and Italy. The dataset, that will be periodically updated to include more cases, is available in SPSS, STATA and EXCEL.


Coverage

In Spain: different election years between 1980 and 2021 in all the 17 regions

In United Kingdom: all elections between 1999 and 2016 in Scotland and Wales

In Italy: different election years between 1968 and 2013 in South Tyrol; 2008 and 2013 in Trentino and Aosta Valley; 2010 and 2015 in Veneto; and Five Star Movement in all Italian regions between 2013 and 2015.
