The "Participatory democracy index" is part of V-Dem's high level democracy indices capturing features of democracy at the most abstract level. The "Participatory democracy index" in particular captures to what extent the ideal of participatory democracy is achieved. It ranges from low (0) to high (1).
Conceptually, it is defined as follows: "The participatory component embodies the values of direct rule and active participation by citizens in all political processes: it emphasizes non-electoral forms of political participation such as through civil society organizations and mechanisms of direct democracy" (Coppedge et al. 2016, 583).
Coding rules
The index is composed of several components and lower-level indices applying V-Dem's measurement model (Pemstein et al. 2020) which in turn are indices built from a number of indicators. The index itself is "based on the mean value of (1) a BFA [Bayesian factor analysis] tapping into the extent of popular participation in civil society organizations (v2x_cspart, based on 4 indicators); (2) a derived index tapping the extent to which citizens engage in means of direct popular voting, i.e., initiatives, referenda and plebiscites (v2xdd_dd, based on 11 indicators); and (3) a derived index of the extent to which there are local and/or regional elections to nonsubordinate executive or legislative bodies (v2xel_locelec and v2x_regelec, based on 3 indicators each)" (Coppedge et al. 2016, 583) [emphasis in original; note that variable names in italics refer to V-Dem's nomenclature in their dataset, not in WeSIS].
For the exact index aggregation formula see Coppedge et al. 2020, Appendix A.
