From party manifesto to governmental policy performance : the pilot case of Slovenia

Kropivnik, Samo (author), Kustec, Simona (author)

This article draws on the assumption that certain congruence exists between the content of partiesʼ electoral policy platforms and of the succeeding governmentʼs policy performance and it shall be considered an important indicator of the overall quality of democracy. Therefore, we analyse the association between the policy contents in partiesʼ electoral programmes and those in key governmental policy documents, i.e. coalition agreements, government sessionsʼ agenda and weekly press releases, utilising the MARPOR or Manifesto Research on Political Representation (ex CMP, MPG) approach. Slovenia is used as a pilot study to test the application of the original MARPOR methodology to data on governmental policy performance
