Parties, ministries, portfolios, ministers  and parliamentary support are listed, as well as duration, type of  government and reasons for termination. The data are organised in such  a manner that every researcher can use them as a basic data set, ready  to be transformed according to the particular needs dictated by the  research undertaken. Various levels of analysis are possible, both  cross-nationally and across time, ranging from individual ministers  and separate ministries to specific parties, governments or countries.  Given its format, the data set is also a very useful background to the  special annual issue of the \u003cem\u003eEuropean Journal of Political  Research:\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003ePolitical Data Yearbook\u003c\/em\u003e.
