Institutionalized Democracy: Democracy is conceived as three essential, interdependent elements. One is the presence of institutions and procedures through which citizens can express effective preferences about alternative policies and leaders. Second is the existence of institutionalized constraints on the exercise of power by the executive. Third is the guarantee of civil liberties to all citizens in their daily lives and in acts of political participation. Other aspects of plural democracy, such as the rule of law, systems of checks and balances, freedom of the press, and so on are means to, or specific manifestations of, these general principles. We do not include coded data on civil liberties.
Coding rules
The Democracy indicator is an additive eleven-point scale (0-10). The operational indicator of democracy is derived from codings of the competitiveness of political participation (variable 2.6), the openness and competitiveness of executive recruitment (variables 2.3 and 2.2), and constraints on the chief executive (variable 2.4) using the following weights:
Competitiveness of Executive Recruitment (XRCOMP):
(3) Election +2
(2) Transitional +1
Openness of Executive Recruitment (XROPEN):
note: only if XRCOMP is Election (3) or Transitional (2)
(3) Dual/election +1
(4) Election +1
Constraint on Chief Executive (XCONST):
(7) Executive parity or subordination +4
(6) Intermediate category +3
(5) Substantial limitations +2
(4) Intermediate category +1
Competitiveness of Political Participation (PARCOMP):
(5) Competitive +3
(4) Transitional +2
(3) Factional +1
