Project:	Project Title: European Election Studies Project Description: The European Election Studies (EES) offer data about electoral behaviour in European Parliament elections. Collecting survey data as well as a variety of other data types, they cover topics such as the evolution of a political community in the European Union, citizens´ perceptions of and preferences about the EU political regime, and the evaluation of its political performance. Besides ´voter surveys´ conducted since 1979, the EES program comprises political elite surveys, media studies and the Euromanifestos project, which is content-coding Party Manifestos. The EES offer extensive opportunities for comparative and longitudinal analyses across the EU member states.
