We describe the Archive of Interwar Europe Election Data and Assemblies (AIEEDA), a new multi-level dataset of parliamentary elections in interwar Europe (1919-1939). The data contains electoral results for all parties that ran in 137 national parliamentary elections in 25 interwar European democracies. It further offers detailed time-invariant ideological and organizational variables for 401 parliamentary parties and 35 party alliances, along with time-variant data on their participation in 412 cabinets. Next to national-level election results, we provide disaggregated constituency/municipality-level results for Estonia, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, and Yugoslavia. Having collected national and disaggregated data independently, we validated each through the other. We also provide linking tables to parliamentary election results at the constituency/municipality-level for France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The archive will be useful to social scientists interested in testing theories on voting and party politics out of sample in a historical setting, or to use historical cases to understand contemporary phenomena such as the rise of radical right-wing parties.
我们介绍了两次世界大战之间欧洲选举数据与议会（AIEEDA）档案，这是一个关于两次世界大战之间欧洲（1919 - 1939年）议会选举的新的多层次数据集。该数据包含在25个两次世界大战之间的欧洲民主国家举行的137次国家议会选举中所有参选政党的选举结果。它还为401个议会政党和35个政党联盟提供了详细的、不随时间变化的意识形态和组织变量，以及关于它们参与412届内阁的随时间变化的数据。除了国家层面的选举结果，我们还提供了爱沙尼亚、爱尔兰、意大利、拉脱维亚、荷兰和南斯拉夫选区/市一级的细分结果。我们独立收集了国家层面和细分层面的数据，并通过相互验证。我们还提供了法国、德国和英国选区/市一级议会选举结果的链接表。该档案对于有兴趣在历史背景下对投票和政党政治理论进行样本外检验的社会科学家，或者对于利用历史案例来理解当代现象（如极右翼政党崛起）的人来说将是有用的。
