Comparative Agendas Project
The U.S. Policy Agendas Project is part of the Comparative Agendas Project (CAP), which assembles and codes information on government policy processes around the world.
CAP enables scholars, students, policymakers and the media to investigate trends in policy-making across time and between countries by classifying policy activities into a single, universal and consistent coding scheme.
CAP monitors policy processes by tracking the actions that governments take in response to the challenges they face, actively monitoring thirty different data series all coded by this same predictable, reliable coding system.
