ABSTRACT

This study aims to introduce the analytical logic for positively analyzing and recovering the ideological structure of policy conflicts, which can be seen in citizens’ policy preferences and inferred preferences by citizens of major political figures and parties, as well as social institutions. Here, the ideological structure of policy conflicts is composed of small variations that compress and summarize the policy conflicts. I present models for recovering the ideological structure of policy conflicts from the multidimensional policy space which is composed of a variety of policy issues. Similarly, models are presented for identifying the points of citizens' policy preferences and inferred preferences of major political figures, parties, and social institutions in the simplified space created by ideological structures. I present some core models of modern spatial theory and some modifications, along with a method for interpreting the meaning of the recovered underlying ideological structure or dimensions. To empirically recover and identify the ideological structural space of policy conflicts, I detail the research subjects, scale construction, and logic of data analysis.
