A new study by Miklós Sebők, Csaba Molnár, and Anna Takács, titled "Levelling up quantitative legislative studies on Central-Eastern Europe: Introducing the ParlText CEE Database of Speeches, Bills, and Laws", has been published in Intersections. East European Journal of Society and Politics.
The study introduces ParlText CEE, a newly available database covering nearly 1.9 million text vectors and metadata from parliamentary speeches, bills, and laws for Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia for the period from 1990–1991 to 2022–2024. The database standardises legislative and speech records, enhancing research accessibility and comparability. This resource offers valuable opportunities for scholars studying legislative processes and political discourse in Central-Eastern Europe.
