Ongoing Research Projects

German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES)

At the occasion of the 2013 Bundestag election, the multi-facetted German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES)  research design has been realized for the second time. The project both provides an unprecedented wealth of high-quality data to the scientific community shortly after the election and produced numerous publications focusing on the 2009 and 2013 elections and electoral change from various perspectives. Among other things, a book-length study of electoral change in Germany was published with Oxford University Press, and comprehensive analyses of the 2009 and 2013 elections were published with Nomos.
