Institute of Philosophy and Sociology
Polish Academy of Sciences
Warsaw, Poland
This international workshop brings together scholars who are interested in using data on candidates and parliamentarians in Eastern Europe to address critical questions on political and party systems of the region, as well as issues in representation, accountability and political inequality. The workshop will introduce the data collection effort for the Eastern European Parliamentarian and Candidate Database (EAST-PaC) — a dataset on parliamentarian candidates for all elections since 1989 in Poland, Ukraine and Hungary — and invite scholars to use these data.
The Workshop will feature (a) discussions of empirical research that uses candidate and parliamentarian data in Poland, Hungary and Ukraine, and elsewhere in Eastern Europe; (b) methodological discussions on collecting candidate and electoral data; (c) a special session on managing EAST-PaC data; and (d) networking and planning of future projects involving these data and these topics.
This event is funded by a grant from Poland’s National Science Centre and with additional support from the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology, Polish Academy of Sciences and the Graduate School for Social Research (GSSR), and organizational support from Cross-National Studies: Interdisciplinary Research and Training Program (CONSIRT).
Accommodation for out-of-town guests is in the Hotel ibis — Warszawa Stare Miasto, Ul. Muranowska 2, 00-209 – Warsaw. For practical information about Warsaw, please visit this practical information page. For questions, please contact the Workshop organizer.
