The International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) represents a series of cross-national collaborations between organizations conducting similar social science research. ISSP researchers focus on developing survey questions that are relevant and comprehensible in all countries and languages, with survey results that are comparable across nations.

This survey covers topics including: law, crime, and legal systems; mass political behavior, attitudes, and opinions; government, political systems, and organizations; gender and gender roles; and economic policy.
