Research Data on the Council of the European Union

Explicitly contested voting in the Council 1994-2000

Mikko Mattila has published two articles, one together with Jan-Erik Lane, using data on explicitly contested voting in the Council during the years 1994-2000: Mattila, M. & Lane, J-E. 2001, "Why Unanimity in the Council? A Roll Call Analysis of Council Voting", European Union Politics, Vol. 2, No. 1, pp.31-52; Mattila, M. 2004, "Contested Decisions. Empirical Analysis of Voting in the Council of Ministers", European Journal of Political Research, Vol. 43, No. 1, pp.. 29-50. He is currently working on a new paper using data from the period after the 2004 enlargement.

Apart from the votes the 2004 data set also includes, for example, information on government's position on the left-right dimension and the less/more integration dimension and financial benefits of EU membership.
