ISSP study packs - Dataset and documentation

The International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) is a continuing annual programme of cross-national collaboration starting with the first survey in 1985. It brings together preexisting social science projects and coordinates research goals, thereby adding a cross-national perspective to the individual national studies. Since 1985 the ISSP grew from 6 to 40 participating countries in 2005.
