Budge is Director of the Manifesto Research Project (now MARPOR at the Wissenschaftzentrum, Berlin) which has quantified the published election programmes of all significant political parties in 45 post-war democracies, allowing their policies to be mapped and systematically related to party actions in government. Seminal publications from this research have been:-
*Ian Budge et. al. Ideology, Strategy and Party Change, (Cambridge University Press, 1987, 2008)*Ian Budge et. al. Ideology, Party Factionalism and Policy Change: An Integrated Dynamic Theory (British Journal of Political Science 40, 2010, 781-804) *Ian Budge (with various authors) Mapping Policy Preferences (Oxford University Press, 2001, 2006, 2013: winner of American Political Science Association Award, 2003).
Budge has also pioneered other areas of political research, anticipating the autonomous development of Scottish politics in Scottish Political Behaviour (London, Longman 1966) with Derek Urwin, developments in voting behaviour Party Identification and Beyond (London, Wiley 1976) ed. with Ivor Crewe and Dennis Farlie: the saliency theory of party competition (with Farlie) in Explaining and Predicting Elections (London Allen and Unwin, 1983): and direct democracy in The New Challenge of Direct Democracy (Cambridge, CUP 1996). A recent book with Hans Keman, Michael McDonald and Paul Pennings, Organizing Democratic Choice (Oxford University Press, 2012) presents a comprehensive theory of how democratic processes work, and tests it against evidence from 25 post-war democracies.
These achievements have been recognised in essays by leading scholars in a volume reviewing his work (Democratic Politics and Party Competition, ed. Judith Bara and Albert Weale, London Routledge 2006) as well as by a number of research awards over his career.
