PARTYPRESS 2.0
Coming soon.
A large-scale, cross-national corpus of party press releases—with LLM-assisted tools to explore who responds to whom, and a public web app for researchers, journalists, and citizens.
What’s coming
- ~30 countries, 2010–2025 — Standardized, multilingual corpus of party press releases from major parties across the EU, UK, Norway, and Switzerland.
- Inter-party responsiveness — Validated LLM-assisted methods to detect who responds to whom, on what issue, and with what stance.
- Open by design — Data, code, and documentation under open licenses; replication and extension in mind.
- Web application — Explore the dataset, visualize party communication patterns, and run custom analyses without coding.
