“…While the small number of 26 cases limits any generalization of the results of the factor analysis beyond the Swiss case, it can be read as a suggestion on how the measurement of MIPEX and CRI could be refined, both, at inter-and subnational levels.Interestingly, the general issue of recognition of minorities' religions, captured by the category 'religious rights I', is not as contested as specific religious rights such as Islamic burials.Yet direct democracy could still yield an indirect effect on legislation concerning minorities' religions, for instance when legislatures respond to the mere threat of direct legislation. A similar effect could be accounted for inChristmann's (2010) analysis of cantonal parliamen-tarian debates concerning the legal recognition of minorities' religions. On the other hand, the finding that socio-structural rights are not as contested is less surprising.…”

Scholars increasingly use Swiss cantons to examine the effect of democratic processes and institutions on political, economic and social outcomes. However, the availability of political indicators at the cantonal level is limited, in particular for longer periods of time. We introduce a novel data set on the ideological and partisan composition of cantonal governments, covering the period 1848-2017 for most cantons. In this research note, we describe our data collection efforts and present some descriptives on the political development of cantonal governments in order to illustrate the data's potential. In particular, we look at the political strength of different parties and factions, the number of parties in government, government volatility and the nationalization of the party system. Our data thus provide new opportunities to examine political, economic and social outcomes as well as the formation of party systems in the Swiss cantons.

“…The procedure of attributing such values to the cases to determine to what degree they display a condition or an outcome is called 'calibration'. QCA has been used to study political phenomena, among many others, by Emmenegger (2008), Magetti (2009), Schneider (2009), or Christmann (2010.…”

By switching the level of analysis and aggregating data from the micro-level of individual cases to the macro-level, quantitative data can be analysed within a more case-based approach. This paper presents such an approach in two steps: In a first step, it discusses the combination of Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) in a sequential mixed-methods research design. In such a design, quantitative social network data on individual cases and their relations at the micro-level are used to describe the structure of the network that these cases constitute at the macro-level. Different network structures can then be compared by QCA. This strategy allows adding an element of potential causal explanation to SNA, while SNA-indicators allow for a systematic description of the cases to be compared by QCA. Because mixing methods can be a promising, but also a risky endeavour, the methodological part also discusses the possibility that underlying assumptions of both methods could clash. In a second step, the research design presented beforehand is applied to an empirical study of policy network structures in Swiss politics. Through a comparison of 11 policy networks, causal paths that lead to a conflictual or consensual policy network structure are identified and discussed. The analysis reveals that different theoretical factors matter and that multiple conjunctural causation is at work. Based on both the methodological discussion and the empirical application, it appears that a combination of SNA and QCA can represent a helpful methodological design for social science research and a possibility of using quantitative data with a more case-based approach.
