Abstract

Abstract With a proliferation of scholarly work focusing on populist, far-left, and far-right parties, questions have arisen about the correct ways to ideologically classify such parties. To ensure transparency and uniformity in research, the discipline could benefit from a systematic procedure. In this letter, we discuss how we have employed the method of ‘Expert-informed Qualitative Comparative Classification’ (EiQCC) to construct the newest version of The PopuList (3.0) – a database of populist, far-left, and far-right parties in Europe since 1989. This method takes into account the in-depth knowledge of national party experts while allowing for systematic comparative analysis across cases and over time. We also examine how scholars have made use of the previous versions of the dataset, explain how the new version of The PopuList differs from previous ones, and compare it to other data. We conclude with a discussion of the strengths and limitations of The PopuList dataset.

民粹主义者:民粹主义、极左翼和极右翼政党的数据库，使用专家知情的定性比较分类(EiQCC)

随着关注民粹主义、极左翼和极右翼政党的学术著作的激增，出现了如何正确地对这些政党进行意识形态分类的问题。为了确保研究的透明度和一致性，该学科可以从系统的程序中受益。在这封信中，我们讨论了我们如何采用“专家信息定性比较分类”(EiQCC)的方法来构建最新版本的民粹主义(3.0)——一个自1989年以来欧洲民粹主义、极左翼和极右翼政党的数据库。这种方法考虑到国家政党专家的深入知识，同时允许跨案例和跨时间的系统比较分析。我们还研究了学者们是如何利用以前版本的数据集的，解释了新版本的民粹主义者与以前的版本有何不同，并将其与其他数据进行了比较。最后，我们讨论了民粹主义数据集的优势和局限性。
