V-Dem |
Tiago Fernandes (Southern Europe) |
Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) is a new approach to conceptualizing and measuring democracy. It provides a multidimensional and disaggregated dataset that reflects the complexity of the concept of democracy as a system of rule that goes beyond the simple presence of elections. The V-Dem project distinguishes between seven high-level principles of democracy: electoral, liberal, participatory, deliberative, egalitarian, majoritarian and consensual, and collects data to measure these principles. |

ISA RC47 – Research Committee in Social Classes and Social Movements |
Ana Margarida Esteves |
Research Committee 47 (RC 47) has as its central theme the problem of social movements, social stratification/inequality and the latter’s relationship to changing social structures and processes of societies at large. Its focus is contemporary societies, their institutions and actors. Research Committee 47 emerged as the result of fervent debates within social movement research and intellectual networks – in Europe and America – for more open interdisciplinary approaches. Hence, in the early 1980’s, as the post industrial thesis was fervently resonating throughout the Social Sciences, Research Committee 47 was created as a social movements/collective action response to a fundamental shift in the structure and perception of new and emerging social forces. The prevailing scientific standpoint of Research Committee 47 has been to demonstrate how collective action is related to the innate structures of society. |

Ana Margarida Esteves | ECOLISE recognises the unprecedented ecological, social, economic and political threats to dignified life on planet earth.

European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) |
The European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) was established by a group of twelve founding European universities and as the result of a project led by eminent political scientists, Jean Blondel and Stein Rokkan, to…‘break down the barriers between the national traditions of the discipline and create a truly international community of scholars within Europe…’. With the help of a generous grant from the Ford Foundation, the ECPR quickly built a framework of membership and activities to meet this mission. Fifty years on, we are the leading scholarly society for political scientists in Europe; we have over 300 institutional members in nearly 50 countries, which amounts to a global community of tens of thousands of scholars. |
