“…Our expert evaluation scores come from Laver et al (2006), who show not only the positions of French parties on the most salient policy dimensions, but also the relative importance that parties 22 As Boycko et al (1996) note, "One key objective of politicians is employment". attach to each dimension.…”

“…Laver et al estimate the policy positions by conducting an expert survey in which they collected the judgements of French political scientists on the policy positions of the French parties. This survey followed the model of expert surveys conducted by Laver and Hunt (1992), and provides a score for each party regarding their "social policy" (for more details, see the Appendix in Laver et al, 2006). This score takes values between 2.5 to 18.9, with higher scores referring to more Right-wing parties.…”

Pennings (2007a, 2007b) recognize the usefulness of the method, but are particularly concerned about the pairwise comparison (estimating policy positions on the basis of previous texts and findings); they argue that the program flattens out party movement, as previous computerized approaches have done.…”

In 2007, the German party Die Linke emerged as the result of the PDS (Party of Democratic Socialism; the successor of the Communist Party) merging with the WASG (Wahlalternative Arbeit und Soziale Gerechtigkeit; a break away left wing of the Social Democrats). This article compares the policy position of Die Linke with the positions of the two merging partners. Using a recently developed computerized method, Wordscores, we investigate the differences between the merging partners and compare their policy positions with the position of Die Linke. We provide a systematic analysis of the parties' positions with respect to the economic policy issue based on the manifestos of the three parties. The word scores estimates reveal significant differences between the two merging partners and show that Die Linke is positioned closer to the PDS with respect to the economic issue.

“…Rooted in the early literature on party types and party systems (Bondel 1968;Sartori 1976), these recent studies have explored the dynamic between president and presidential party policy in Latin America (Wiesehomeier and Benoit 2009), the policy positions of party groups in the European Union Benoit 2007, 2010), and the mapping of party policy space in Ireland (Benoit and Laver 2005) and France (Laver, Benoit, and Sauger 2006).…”

In this article, we present the estimates of the party policy positions derived from two surveys: an expert survey and a voter survey, which were conducted in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador immediately prior to the October 2011 provincial election. The experts and the sample of voters were asked to situate the major political parties on eight policy dimensions and to rank the importance of each policy area. The results of the study present not only a map of party policy space and voter preference in Newfoundland and Labrador but also an indication of party policy awareness in the province.

Policy competition in the 2002 French legislative and presidential elections

Abstract: The French two-round system of presidential elections forces candidates to choose strategies designed to maximize their votes in two different, potentially conflicting strategic contexts: a first round contest between many candidates, and a second round between (typically) a left-
