Description:
|
Research on polarization and political positions of politicians has mostly been limited to research in the United States and Europe. We would like to expand the available knowledge on the polarization and individual positions of members of the Colombian Congress. The goal of this project is to collect as much information as possible on the voting behaviors of Colombian Congressmembers. Team members will collect data on the voting behavior of Colombian Congressmembers, under supervision of myself and another graduate student. Spanish language skills are strongly recommended |
