The dataset contains responses of 30,062 individuals serving as elected councillors in municipalities across 28 European countries (Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czechia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom). Data was collected between June 2023 and July 2024 by a consortium of numerous researchers across the participating countries using a uniform questionnaire and a shared electronic data collection system. In order to disclose the identity of the respondents, context data has been anonymized to an extent where tracking back of single individuals is not possible.

Freely downloadable on GESIS at https://doi.org/10.7802/2054
This dataset provides updated data on the ‘Local Autonomy Index’ (LAI) for a group of 8 Alpine substate entities. It is part of a more articulated project seeking to explore the link between territorial policies and citizens' participation. The subnational entities have been selected in the Alpine Arc countries: in the Swiss confederation, the Cantons Grisons and Valais; in Italy, the Special Status Regions Aosta Valley, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol; in the Austrian federal state, the Länder Tyrol and Vorarlberg.

Freely downloadable on GESIS at https://doi.org/10.7802/2119
This dataset provides updated and more detailed data on the ‘Local Autonomy Index’ (LAI) for Italy. It is part of a more articulated project seeking to explore the link between territorial policies and citizens' participation. The degree of Local Autonomy has been assessed in Italy in the two main clusters of subnational units, namely the 15 Ordinary Status Regions and the five Special Status Regions. The two clusters enjoy different constitutional and legal prerogatives, which influence the degree of autonomy of their relevant local authorities.

S. Bolgherini, S. Grimaldi (2017), Dataset of Party System Change in Italian Regions. 1995-2015. GESIS Data Archive Datorium
Freely downloadable at http://doi.org/10.7802/1484
The dataset provides data on party system change in the 15 Italian Ordinary Statute Regions (OSRs) for 1995-2015. The dataset covers entirely the period of the so-called Italian Second Republic (1992-2013), namely the period following the judicial inquiry Clean Hands, which caused the implosion of the previous party system. Although the end of the Second Republic is still disputed, the electoral earthquake of 2013 is another turnaround as far as party system change is concerned. Altogether, 14 elections are taken into account and grouped in electoral cycles.
