Datasets

The only completed and publicly released dataset in our project is the dataset on European Council Conclusions (1975-2014)

Prime Minister & Executive

• European Council Conclusions (abridged for the trends tool)

  The European Council Conclusions dataset includes all conclusions issued by the European Council since its first meeting in 1975. The initial dataset covered the period 1975-2012, and was later expanded to the end of 2014.

   

  All documents are coded for policy content using the EU Policy Agendas Project codebook at the quasi-sentence level. The dataset encompasses conclusions, declarations and some other files but for the sake of simplicity we refer to all documents as conclusions.

   

  Project coordinator: Petya Alexandrova

  Project members: Marcello Carammia, Sebastiaan Princen and Arco Timmermans
