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.
