The dataset provides data on Regional Presidents' career paths in the 15 Italian Ordinary Statute Regions (OSRs) for the 1970-2015 period. The dataset comprises information on Regional Presidents' personal and socio-economic data (such as presidents' name and surname, their age; sex, type of education; previous profession etc.); their party career before entering office (such as party membership; sub-regional party leadership; regional party leadership; membership of national party executive); their institutional career before and after entering office (such as mayors, presidents of province, members of regional institutions; members of national parliament; ministers, members of European Parliament) and other information regarding their term as Regional Presidents (i.e. date when entering and leaving office; time in office in days; early term interruption; political party affiliation).This dataset deals with all chief executives of ordinary regions from the year in which these institutions were established (1970) to 31 December 2015. We have not counted those who were appointed only as acting heads of government. Overall, our dataset comprises 173 individuals.

[An updated version is available at http://dx.doi.org/10.7802/1442 ] The dataset contents are from the most visible forms of assembly (demonstrations, protest marches, and strikes) and were collected with a Protest Event Analysis (PEA) from online newspaper articles of "The Irrawaddy" (English version). The coding followed to great extent the scheme of the Prodat project, conducted by Dieter Rucht (1993-2011), and includes 113 variables ranging from information on the actual moment of the protest event to the aftermath (e.g., legal consequences for protesters, successful claims, ...). The dataset was created for a research project testing if Myanmar has seen a 'meaningful liberalization' since the semi-civilian president Thein Sein took office in 2011 (forthcoming, see andybuschmann.com).

The "Myanmar Protest Event Dataset" aims at collecting data from protest events in Myanmar (the former Burma), which allows pursuing various research projects. The dataset contents are derived from the most visible forms of assembly (demonstrations, protest marches, and labor strikes) and were collected with a protest event analysis. In this dataset, English online newspaper articles of "The Irrawaddy" between February 4, 2011 (the inauguration of President Thein Sein) and December 31, 2014 (to be continued) were utilized as the primary media source (N=185). The coding basis of variables was set by the code scheme of the, in its approach similar, research project "Prodat" conducted at the Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin (WZB). In the special transition context of Myanmar, additional variables had to be added (see code sheet). The 114 variables range from information on the actual moment of the protest event to the aftermath (e.g., legal consequences for protesters, successful claims, ...). The dataset was originally created for a research project, which assesses Myanmar's political transition (see andybuschmann.com for publications).

The Manifesto Project Dataset provides the scientific community with parties' policy positions derived from a content analysis of parties' electoral manifestos. It covers over 1.000 parties from 1945 until today in over 50 countries on five continents.
The content analysis aims to discover party and presidential stances by quantifying their statements and messages to their electorate. A unified classification scheme with an accompanying set of rules was developed to make such statements comparable. Analysing manifestos allows for measurement of party and presidents' policy positions across countries and elections within a common framework. Manifestos are understood to be parties' only and presidential candidates' main authoritative policy statements and, therefore, as indicators of the parties' policy preferences at a given point in time.
The Manifesto Project Data Collection was originally created by the Manifesto Research Group (MRG) in the late 1970s and the 1980s. The work was continued under the name Comparative Manifestos Project (CMP) at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center in the 1990s and 2000s. Since 2009 the Manifesto Research on Political Representation (MARPOR) project updates and extends the dataset. It is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and is still located at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center.
