576964 Number of marginalized ethnic groups (MEG)   Count variable indicating the number of MEG groups in this country. The Ethnic Power Relations dataset defines ethnicity as any subjectively experienced sense of commonality based on the belief in common ancestry and shared culture. Given this definition, an ethnic group (i.e. a group of individuals sharing a common ethnicity) is included in the EPR Core dataset if it is politically relevant at least once in the sample period. An ethnic group is classified as politically relevant if at least one political organization claims to represent it in national politics or if its members are subjected to state-led political discrimination. An ethnic group is marginalized (MEG) if it is politically relevant but does not have access to power. Marginalization can take one of the following forms: * Powerless: Elite representatives hold no political power (or do not have influence on decision making) at the national level of executive power - although without being explicitly discriminated against. * Discrimination: Group members are subjected to active, intentional, and targeted discrimination by the state, with the intent of excluding them from political power. Such active discrimination can be either formal or informal, but always refers to the domain of public politics (excluding discrimination in the socio-economic sphere). * Self-exclusion: Applies to groups that have excluded themselves from central state power, in the sense that they control a particular territory of the state which they have declared independent from the central government. 2023-03-16 09:54:32 2024-07-25 23:08:00     1946-2020 5922 27549
