Manifesto Research on Political Representation (MARPOR)

《关于政治代表性的宣言研究》项目是《宣言》研究小组(1979年--)和《比较宣言》项目(《议定书》--2009年)的延续，分析各政党的选举方案。MARPOR追求四个主要的长期目标。该项目(1)更新、加强和扩展宣言文本，(2)收集关于政治偏好的内容分析数据，以便(3)研究政党作为民主国家方案代表的代理人。此外，它(4)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，用于分析五大洲1000多个缔约方在1945年至2018年期间的政策偏好。已有10881名用户在宣言项目的网站上注册，以获取和下载数据。在第三个供资期间，MARPOR平衡了两个目标：(1)改善基础设施，以便更好地生成和使用其数据集；(2)加强对政党的实质性研究。数据收集已扩大，快速纳入新数据确保数据集始终是最新的。数据收集的获取和使用都得到了改进。在内部，编码过程现在更有效率，数据更可靠。2018年初，MARPOR主办了一次会议，另一次会议计划在当前资金期限内举行。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方案代表性进行实质性研究。焦点在于以下问题：1)媒体在多大程度上向选民传达政党宣言的内容；2)政党一旦进入议会，他们的纲领执行得如何；3)他们信守承诺了吗？在随后的项目阶段，将为2019年至2021年期间举行的选举更新数据和文件收集。进一步的计划包括准备基础设施和数据，以便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，我们将努力使MARPOR在一个涉及ESFRI资助的全欧洲网络内制度化。在第四个筹资阶段，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。

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.
