TY - JOUR A1 - Shim, Jaemin A1 - Gherghina, Sergiu T1 - Measuring the mass‑elite preference congruence: findings from a meta‑analysis and introduction to the symposium T2 - European political science N2 - The extensive scholarship devoted to the congruence of mass-elite policy preferences lacks consensus about the meaning, comparison, and measurement across political settings. This makes comparisons difficult and raises obstacles to advancing the debates. This symposium aims to identify the diversity of methodological choices and to reflect systematically on several key choices of particular importance in understanding the congruence. The contributions to the symposium compare and contrast how several types of measurement fare in diverse political contexts in Eastern Europe, Latin America, North Africa, and East Asia, and what we can learn from those methodological choices.
