Henisz' measures of political constraints (POLCON) capture the "feasibility of change", i.e. the "the extent to which a change in the preferences of any one actor may lead to a change in government policy" (Henisz 2002, 363). It ranges from 0 to 1 with higher values indicating more constraints. The POLCON III index takes three branches (executive, lower and upper legislative chambers) into account.
Coding rules
Henisz starts out from identifying the number of independent government branches, assuming policy preferences "independently and identically drawn from a uniform, unidimensional policy space" (Henisz 2002, 363) and taking the extent of partisan alignments across the branches into account. For a detailed description of the index construction see Henisz 2002, 380-389 (Appendix). In contrast to his POLCON V measure which also considers the judiciary and sub-federal entities, the POLCON III index only takes three government branches (executive, lower and upper legislative chambers) into account.
