Measuring Party Strength: A New Systematic Framework Applied to Germany
Published: Jan 12, 2016 by German Politics
Authors: Paolo Chiocchetti
An appropriate quantitative measurement of party strength is an essential precondition to any further qualitative assessment of partisan influence. This article fills that gap by proposing a new multi-dimensional and multi-level framework model to operationalise and measure party strength. The soundness of the approach is tested on the case of the evolution of German parties between 1991 and 2013.
