lpanda: Local Political Actor Network Diachronic Analysis Tools

Provides functions to prepare, visualize, and analyse diachronic network data on local political actors, with a particular focus on the development of local party systems and identification of actor groups. Formalizes and automates a continuity diagram method that has been previously applied in research on Czech local politics, e.g. Bubenicek and Kubalek (2010, ISSN:1803-8220), Kubalek and Bubenicek (2012, ISSN:1803-8220), and Cmejrek, Bubenicek, and Copik (2010, ISBN:978-80-247-3061-5). The package also includes several example datasets derived from Czech municipal elections, compiled from official election results, field research, and previously published case studies on Czech local politics.
