Aggregated V-Dem country expert ratings whether political power was equally distributed between social groups. Lower values indicate power distribution in favor of one social group, higher values suggest equal distribution of power.
Coding rules
Ordinal ratings were aggregated to interval scale applying V-Dem's measurement model (Pemstein et al. 2020). Experts were asked "Is political power distributed according to social groups?" and the ordinal wordings of the question were (Coppedge et al. 2020b, 193):
- 0: Political power is monopolized by one social group comprising a minority of the population. This monopoly is institutionalized, i.e., not subject to frequent change.
- 1: Political power is monopolized by several social groups comprising a minority of the population. This monopoly is institutionalized, i.e., not subject to frequent change.
- 2: Political power is monopolized by several social groups comprising a majority of the population. This monopoly is institutionalized, i.e., not subject to frequent change.
- 3: Either all social groups possess some political power, with some groups having more power than others; or different social groups alternate in power, with one group controlling much of the political power for a period of time, followed by another — but all significant groups have a turn at the seat of power.
- 4: All social groups have roughly equal political power or there are no strong ethnic, caste, linguistic, racial, religious, or regional differences to speak of. Social group characteristics are not relevant to politics.
A social group is defined as "caste, ethnicity, language, race, region, religion, or some combination thereof" and does explicitly not include sexual orientation or socioeconomic status.
