Details

Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) is a new approach to conceptualizing and measuring democracy. We provide a multidimensional and disaggregated dataset that reflects the complexity of the concept of democracy as a system of rule that goes beyond the simple presence of elections. The V-Dem project distinguishes between five high-level principles of democracy: electoral, liberal, participatory, deliberative, and egalitarian, and collects data to measure these principles. With five Principal Investigators (PIs), thirty-nine Project Managers (PMs) with special responsibility for issue areas, more than thirty Regional Managers (RMs), 134 Country Coordinators (CCs), Research Assistants, and over 4,000 Country Experts (CEs). The V-Dem project is one of the largest social science data collection projects focusing on research. The Headquarters is based at the V-Dem Institute, the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. The most recent data set (v15) covers 202 countries from 1789-2024 and includes 500+ indicators, 81 indices and 5 high-level indices. For more info see https://www.v-dem.net/
