Aggregated V-Dem country expert ratings whether a state is autonomous from the control of other states in conducting its domestic policy. Lower values indicate that a state is less autonomous, higher values suggest stronger autonomy from other states.

Coding rules

Ordinal ratings were aggregated to interval scale applying V-Dem's measurement model (Pemstein et al. 2021). Experts were asked "Is the state autonomous from the control of other states with respect to the conduct of domestic policy?" and the ordinal wordings of the question were (Coppedge et al. 2021, 187):

  • 0: Non-autonomous. National level authority is exercised by an external power, either by law or in practice. The most common examples of this are direct colonial rule and military occupation (e.g. quadripartite occupation of Germany in 1945). It also includes situations in which domestic actors provide de jure cover for de facto control by a foreign power (e.g. Vichy France). However, control of some part of the territory of a state by an enemy during war is not considered control by external actors if the sovereign government remains on scene and continues to wage conventional war (e.g., the USSR during WW II).
  • 1: Semi-autonomous. An external political actor directly constrains the ability of domestic actors to rule, decides who can or cannot rule through formal rules or informal understandings, or precludes certain policies through explicit treaty provisions or well-understood rules of the game from which the subject state cannot withdraw. Examples include Soviet "satellite" states in Eastern Europe, and situations where colonial powers grant limited powers of national selfgovernment to their possessions (e.g., protectorates and limited home government).
  • 2: Autonomous. Domestic political actors exercise political authority free of the direct control of external political actors.

This precludes "restrictions emanating from [freely negotiated] treaties (e.g., NATO), international organizations (e.g., the WTO), or confederations (e.g., the European Union)" (Coppedge et al. 2021, 186).
