About COST Action
For large-scale democracies, general elections are the ultimate link between societal interests and demands on the one hand, and governmental action on the other. In contemporary Europe, this link - the "electoral connection"- is experiencing a number of threats. One is the European unification process itself due to its inherent diminution of political accountability. Another threat is a far reaching ideological depolarization of electoral choice option. A third results from the changes of European political parties over the last decades.
Action Think Tank
We will convene the First Think Tank meeting: "Integrating the Micro‐Data Base of the True European Voter" at the MZES in Mannheim, May 17 to 20 (arrival: 16th May and departure:21st May).
At this meeting, each of our participating at the COST Action countries should be represented and report on the national micro-data holdings. Thus, each country should present the national data synopsis based on the spread sheets.
Ideally, the people who have done the data work should be representing their country at this Think Tank meeting.
