The project Manifesto Research on Political Representation (MARPOR), a continuation of the Manifesto Research Group (MRG 1979-1989) and the Comparative Manifestos Project (CMP 1989-2009), analyses parties' election programmes. MARPOR pursues four principal long-term goals. The project (1) updates, enhances, and extends the manifesto text and (2) content-analytical data collection on political preferences in order to (3) study parties as agents of programmatic representation across democracies. In addition, it (4) provides instant access to manifesto texts and content-analytical data. The project generates a dataset for the analysis of the policy preferences of over 1 000 parties between 1945 and 2018 on five continents. 10 881 users have registered on the Manifesto Project's website to access and download the data. During the third funding period MARPOR balanced two objectives: (1) improving the infrastructure for a better generation and usage of its dataset and (2) enhancing substantial research on political parties. Data collection has been expanded, and rapid inclusion of new data ensures that the dataset is consistently up-to-date. Access to and usage of the data collection has been improved. Internally, the coding process is now more efficient and the data more reliable. Early in 2018 MARPOR hosted a conference, and another is planned to take place within the current funding period. The project uses its own dataset for substantial research on programmatic representation of voters by parties throughout the entire chain of delegation. Focus lies with the following questions: 1) to what extent do media convey the party manifesto content to the voters, 2) how well do parties follow their programs once in parliament and 3) do they keep their pledges? In the subsequent project phase the data and document collection will be updated for elections occurring between 2019 and 2021. Further plans include the preparation of the infrastructure and data for migration to a new project framework. In order to secure the future of the project beyond the DFG-funding, we will work towards institutionalising MARPOR within a European-wide network involving ESFRI-funding. In the fourth funding phase MARPOR’s substantial research will focus on the analysis of changing patterns of party competition and its consequences.

政治代表宣言研究项目（MARPOR）是宣言研究小组（MRG 1979-1989）和比较宣言项目（CMP 1989-2009）的延续，分析政党的选举计划。 MARPOR 追求四个主要长期目标。该项目(1)更新、增强和扩展了宣言文本，(2)收集有关政治偏好的内容分析数据，以便(3)研究政党作为民主国家纲领性代表的代理人。此外，它 (4) 还提供对宣言文本和内容分析数据的即时访问。该项目生成了一个数据集，用于分析 1945 年至 2018 年间五大洲 1000 多个政党的政策偏好。已有 10 881 位用户在宣言项目网站上注册以访问和下载数据。在第三个资助期间，MARPOR 平衡了两个目标：(1) 改善基础设施，以更好地生成和使用其数据集；(2) 加强对政党的实质性研究。数据收集得到了扩展，新数据的快速包含确保了数据集始终是最新的。数据收集的访问和使用得到了改进。在内部，编码过程现在更加高效，数据更加可靠。 2018 年初，MARPOR 主办了一次会议，并计划在当前资助期内举行另一次会议。该项目使用自己的数据集对整个授权链中各政党对选民的程序化代表进行实质性研究。焦点在于以下问题：1）媒体在多大程度上向选民传达了政党宣言的内容；2）政党进入议会后遵守其纲领的情况如何；3）他们是否信守承诺？在随后的项目阶段，数据和文件收集将针对 2019 年至 2021 年之间发生的选举进行更新。进一步的计划包括准备基础设施和数据以迁移到新的项目框架。为了确保该项目在 DFG 资助之外的未来，我们将努力在涉及 ESFRI 资助的欧洲范围内将 MARPOR 制度化。在第四个资助阶段，MARPOR 的实质性研究将集中于分析政党竞争模式的变化及其后果。
