"This volume contains the proceedings of a CONNEX-sponsored conference
of the European Election Studies research group, which took place in March
2007 at Cadenabbia in Lake Como (Italy). The conference sought to explore
the agenda for future research into a theme that has been of central concern
to the group since its inception three decades ago: the study of multi-level
elections. Since then, the European Election Studies research group has
contributed tremendously to this field, and it has generated an impressive
number of publications, many of which are listed on
http://www.europeanelectionstudies.net in the 'publications' sidebar.
Moreover, the data collected as part of this programme – data about voters,
candidates, parties, media and election results – have been deposited in the
public domain, and keep generating – via secondary analyses – additional
publications. In view of the intellectual preparations for studies of the
European Parliament elections of 2009, the questions of what further research
should be developed within the various strands of multi-level electoral research (which are outlined below) and whether and how they can be
integrated into more-encompassing theories of the quality of electoral
processes have to be addressed. These questions motivated the papers and
discussion during the conference." (excerpt)... view less
