The "Deliberative democracy index" is part of V-Dem's high level democracy indices capturing features of democracy at the most abstract level. The "Deliberative democracy index" in particular captures to what extent the ideal of deliberative democracy is achieved. It ranges from low (0) to high (1).

Conceptually, it is defined as follows: "The deliberative component enshrines the core value that political decisions in pursuit of the public good should be informed by respectful and reasonable dialogue at all levels rather than by emotional appeals, solidary attachments, parochial interests, or coercion" (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 "a BFA [Bayesian factor analysis] attempting to measure the extent to which political elites offer public justifications for their positions on matters of public policy, justify their positions in terms of the public good, acknowledge and respect counter-arguments; and how wide the range of consultation is at elite levels (v2xdl_delib, based on 5 indicators)" (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.
