tual roots of the basic variables and to decide for himself or herself their proper usage as indicators of party characteristics.

Not all the basic variables in the project, moreover, are conceived to be alternative measures of the same major concept. In some cases, the basic variables are directed quite specifically at different manifestations of the concept. For the variable clusters underlying these particular concepts-that is, social attraction, social concentration and social reflection-intercorrelations among the indicators are not required but are expected.

A schematic diagram of the ICPP conceptual framework is presented in Table 1.4, which reveals the number of basic variables subsumed under each major concept. These basic variables will be discussed at length in Chapters 3 through 12 in order of listing in Table 1.4. Chapter 13, which treats electoral data, spans two variable clusters: "institutionalization" and "governmental status." But, before reading the chapters containing instructions for coding specific variables, one should read Chapter 2, which discusses coding procedures in general.
