Abstract

Connecting to recent debates on the party politics of foreign policy and political contestation, the chapter introduces the content and methodology of the Parliamentary Deployment Votes Database, a collection of votes on military missions across a set of eleven countries in Europe and America. The chapter discusses problems related to the scope of the database against divergent cultures 1 Corresponding author: Falk Ostermann, Justus Liebig University Giessen, Department of Political Science, KarlGlöckner-Strasse 21E, 35394 Giessen, Germany, [email protected] 2 This chapter was presented prior to publication at the ECPR General Conference 2018 in Hamburg. We are grateful for Patrick Mello’s valuable remarks as discussant. Further thanks go to the Giessen Graduate Centre Social Sciences, Economics and Law section on Norms and Change in World Politics for hosting a colloquium discussing the draft chapter, and especially to Helmut Breitmeier, Julia Drubel, Jacob B. Manderbach, and Sandra Schwindenhammer. Additionally, we would like to thank Joen Magieres for his competent work collecting data for the Danish case. We are also grateful for the anonymous reviewers’ valuable comments.

It discusses how clustering into party families and cabinets helps structure collected data, how regional parties are classified, and how to make further sense of data using voting-shares, cabinets, and government-opposition dynamics. The chapter also shows how Hix, Nouri and Roland’s Agreement Index, used in European Studies, can be used to measure agreement and dissent on military missions. Empirically, the chapter corroborates recent research demonstrating that party politics underlie deployment votes.
