Welcome to WeSISpedia, the collaborative codebook accompanying WeSIS. The aim of WeSIS is to provide the most comprehensive data base on social policies throughout the world since 1880. WeSIS includes data on social policies (Y) and explanatory variables capturing domestic conditions (X1) like policy legacies, economic, financial and political factors, information about the social structure, culture, and geography (X1). Reflecting different forms of interdependencies and relations among states (X2), WeSIS further includes data about (flows of) communication, political institutional linkages, economic relations, migration, colonial dependencies, and violent conflicts. Every indicator that is part of WeSIS is documented in WeSISpedia. Furthermore, coding rules and harmonized country codes are recorded.

WeSIS and WeSISpedia are a central component of the Collaborative Research Center 1342 on Global Dynamics of Social Policy.
