Research Projects
Professor Jolly’s
research focuses on the interaction of political institutions and political
parties in Europe. His 2015 book, "The European Union and the Rise of Regionalist
Parties," explores how European integration affects regionalist
parties. He is currently working on a project investigating whether parties
represent the public in European democracies.
Since 2010, Jolly has
served as one of the principal investigators for the Chapel Hill Expert Survey
(CHES), one of the most widely used datasets on political party positions. CHES
collects expert assessments of party positions on a variety of issues, including
left-right ideology, European integration, and immigration. The 2019 trend
dataset is publicly available at http://chesdata.eu/.
