  • I found a study that may be helpful.
    The project is called the Chapel Hill Expert Survey, which is being conducted by Gary Marks of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and others, and asks political experts in each country to evaluate the policy positions of major political parties in EU member states.

    This survey interprets the multidimensional political conflict as stated in the question, and in the latest survey (Version 2025.1), it is measured by the following conflict terms:

    Issue Options and Ties

    Most Important Issue Options
    1 = Anti-elite rhetoric
    2 = Civil liberties
    3 = Corruption
    4 = Decentralization
    5 = Deregulation
    6 = Environment
    7 = Ethnic minorities
    8 = EU integration
    9 = Immigration
    10 = International security
    11 = Multiculturalism
    12 = Nationalism
    13 = Public services vs taxes
    14 = Redistribution
    15 = Religious principles
    16 = Social lifestyle
    17 = State intervention
    18 = Urban vs. rural
    Ties
    19 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Corruption
    20 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and EU integration
    21 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Immigration
    22 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Nationalism
    23 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Public services vs taxes
    24 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Redistribution
    25 = Tie: Civil liberties and Corruption
    26 = Tie: Civil liberties and Multiculturalism
    27 = Tie: Civil liberties and EU integration
    28 = Tie: Corruption and Deregulation
    29 = Tie: Corruption and Social lifestyle
    30 = Tie: Decentralization and Nationalism
    31 = Tie: Decentralization and State intervention
    32 = Tie: Deregulation and Nationalism
    33 = Tie: Deregulation and Public services vs taxes
    34 = Tie: Deregulation and Redistribution
    35 = Tie: Deregulation and State intervention
    36 = Tie: Ethnic minorities and Social lifestyle
    37 = Tie: EU integration and Redistribution

    42 = Tie: Public services vs taxes and State intervention
    43 = Tie: Redistribution and Social lifestyle
    44 = Tie: Redistribution and State intervention
    45 = Tie: Social lifestyle and State intervention
    46 = Tie: Social lifestyle and Urban vs rural
    47 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Deregulation and Ethnic minorities
    48 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Environment and International security
    49 = Tie: Decentralization and Public services vs taxes and Redistribution
    50 = Tie: Deregulation and Ethnic minorities and State intervention
    51 = Tie: EU integration and Social lifestyle and State intervention

    54 = Tie: EU integration and Nationalism
    55 = Tie: Deregulation and Multiculturalism and State Intervention

  • “Game Music Disk Guide 2”(ISBN:978-4-909483-69-0). It is supervised by Tanaka “Hally” Haruhisa, whom I impulsively bought at a bookstore this past May. This book is written in Japanese, and no English translation exists.

    Compared to the first volume, which strictly focused on works released on physical media as a “disk guide,” this second volume also covers works that have never been released on physical media. Consequently, it features music from Amiga and C64 games, which are relatively unknown in Japan. This is precisely why I made the impulse purchase.

    Having finished reading it, I was deeply moved to read the review in my native language of Tim Follin’s work. In conclusion, this impulse buy turned out to be a huge success for me. I’d like to express my gratitude here to the bookseller who stocked this title.
