	Welcome to WeSISpedia, the collaborative codebook accompanying [https://wesis.org WeSIS] -- the '''We'''lfare '''S'''tate '''I'''nformation '''S'''ystem. The aim of WeSIS is to provide a comprehensive database on social policies throughout the world since 1880. WeSIS includes monadic data on social policies and (explanatory) variables capturing domestic conditions like policy legacies, economic, financial and political factors, information about the social structure, culture, and geography. Reflecting different forms of interdependencies and relations among states, WeSIS further includes dyadic data about (flows of) communication, political institutional linkages, economic relations, migration, colonial dependencies, and violent conflicts.
