Germany

The German agenda-setting project is developing several data sets on issue attention and policy-making in Germany. The project is based at the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto and directed by Christian Breunig.

The following data are coded (1978-2008):
Phase I:
  • Adopted laws
  • Most important problem surveys
  • Executive speeches (Regierungserklaerungen)
Phase II:
  • Bill proposals
  • Parliamentary questions ("Anfrage")
  • Lobby groups ("Registrierte Verbände")

All data are classified by policy topic and will become available at German Policy Agendas. For further information and data inquiries please contact Christian Breunig.
