The German Local Manifesto Project (GLMP) is led by Prof. Dr. Martin Gross and Dr. Christina-Marie Juen. As Principal Investigators, they are responsible for the development, coordination, and ongoing maintenance of the project and its data infrastructure.
Contributions to the project
GLMP builds on earlier research on local party politics and political manifestos. The project draws in particular on methodological and substantive groundwork developed in collaboration with Michael Jankowski as part of the Local Manifesto Project.
Lisa-Marie Müller contributed substantially to the development of the German corpus by providing a large collection of local election programmes from Baden-Württemberg.
We gratefully acknowledge these contributions, as well as the support of colleagues and student assistants who have helped expand, document, and improve the corpus.
