Welcome to The Representative Democracy Data Archive (REPDEM)

REPDEM presents the comparative data collection efforts undertaken by various research and data infrastructure projects on governments, parliaments, political parties, length of government formation periods, bargain rounds, procedures and mechanisms for intra-coalition governance, and government duration and termination.
