Aggregated V-Dem country expert ratings whether opposition parties are autonomous of the ruling regime. Lower values indicate greater dependency, higher values suggest greater independence of opposition parties.
Coding rules
Ordinal ratings were aggregated to interval scale applying V-Dem's measurement model (Pemstein et al. 2020). Experts were asked "Are opposition parties independent and autonomous of the ruling regime?" and the ordinal wordings of the question were (Coppedge et al. 2020b, 91):
- 0: Opposition parties are not allowed.
- 1: There are no autonomous, independent opposition parties. Opposition parties are either selected or co-opted by the ruling regime.
- 2: At least some opposition parties are autonomous and independent of the ruling regime.
- 3: Most significant opposition parties are autonomous and independent of the ruling regime.
- 4: All opposition parties are autonomous and independent of the ruling regime.
