Cleavage research has been characterised by insufficient attention to (i) the institutional structuring of political cleavages, (ii) the operationalisation of key social and political constructs via the construction of validated measurement instruments, and (iii) the specification and testing of mechanisms through which linkages between social structure and political change can be interpreted. The contributions in this special issue are evaluated in the light of these considerations. Specific research foci and data construction/analytic strategies facilitating progress on these questions are then advocated
