    abstract = {We outline a comprehensive research program on
      institutional reforms in European parliaments. Original data show
      that parliamentary rules in Western European parliaments have
      been changed frequently and massively during the period from 1945
      to 2010 suggesting that actors use institutional reforms as a
      distinct strategy to pursue their substantive goals. We discuss
      how institutional instability affects existing theoretical and
      empirical arguments about institutional effects. Furthermore, we
      present four ideal-typical approaches to analyzing rule changes,
      present new software tools for identifying and coding changes in
      large text corpora, and demonstrate their usefulness for valid
      measurement of the overall change between subsequent text
      versions.},
