Replication material

We are building datasets:

  • The DISINTEGRATION project has collected an EU-wide repeated cross-sectional survey. Six waves were fielded between August 2017 and December 2019. The survey includes information about respondents’ attitudes towards the EU, perceptions of the Brexit process, as well as general political attitudes and demographic characteristics.
  • The DISINTEGRATION project fielded a five-wave panel survey in Switzerland between November 2019 and May 2022. The survey includes information about respondents’ attitudes towards the EU, perceptions of the Brexit process, attitudes towards immigration, globalisation and international cooperation, evaluations of the pandemic situations, personality traits, as well as demographic characteristics.
  • The DISINTEGRATION project has fielded a survey in Sweden and Finland in November 2022. The survey includes information about respondents’ attitudes towards NATO accession, evaluations of the sanction regime against Russia, as well as general political attitudes and demographic characteristics.
  • The DISINTEGRATION project is currently developing IOParlspeech, a dataset of statements on 78 international organizations (IOs) in the parliamentary debates of six countries (USA, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Germany, Austria). The dataset covers 1990 to 2018. It will be used to test theories of when, why, and how international cooperation becomes politicised in domestic politics.
  • The DISINTEGRATION project has built up an EU News Corpus – a database consisting of 1.8 mio news articles on the EU the most widely circulated daily and weekly newspapers in ten European countries (Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany”, Italy, Ireland, Poland, the Netherlands, and Spain) as well as 500’000 articles from major newswires (AP, AFP, Reuters). The dataset covers the time-period 2000-2021. From this corpus, the project extracts information on party positions towards EU-integration via manual coding and automated text analysis. These derived measures will be published as part of the project’s data dissemination strategy.
  • The project is also building up a second News Corpus on International Cooperation. As with the EU News Corpus, derived data will be made available by the project.
