We invite contributions from scholars working on all issues of democracy, democratic stability, and democratic transitions, and who approach these topics linking multiple types of data (such as surveys, administrative data, geospatial data, digital traces, etc.). We are interested in both comparative and case studies, in both current and historical accounts, as well as in papers on the methodological considerations involved when linking different types of data. 

We gratefully acknowledge funding from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) under Germany’s Excellence Strategy – EXC 2126/1-390838866.
