description

Administered in winter 2020 and completed by 421 political scientists specializing in political parties and European integration, the 2019 CHES provides information about the positioning of 277 parties on political ideology, European integration, and various policy areas. The survey covers political parties in 32 countries, including all European Union member states, plus Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey. The 2019 survey can be combined with prior waves to produce a trend file with six time points from 1999 to 2019, making the CHES the longest-running, most extensive expert survey on political parties in Europe.
