 0     regime_row_owid grapher/democracy/2024-03-07/vdem/vdem#regime_row_owid   2             Identifies the political regime of a country by distinguishing between closed autocracies, electoral autocracies, electoral democracies, and liberal democracies.   
[
    "The indicator uses the Regimes of the World classification by political scientists Anna L\u00fchrmann, Marcus Tannenberg and Staffan Lindberg.",
    "The classification distinguishes between closed autocracies (score 0), electoral autocracies (score 1), electoral democracies (score 2), and liberal democracies (score 3).",
    "In _closed autocracies_, citizens do not have the right to either choose the chief executive of the government or the legislature through multi-party elections.",
    "In _electoral autocracies_, citizens have the right to choose the chief executive and the legislature through multi-party elections; but they lack some freedoms, such as the freedoms of association or expression, that make the elections meaningful, free, and fair.",
    "In _electoral democracies_, citizens have the right to participate in meaningful, free and fair, and multi-party elections.",
    "In _liberal demoracies_, citizens have further individual and minority rights, are equal before the law, and the actions of the executive are constrained by the legislative and the courts."

 We expand the years covered by V-Dem further: To expand the time coverage of today's countries and include more of the period when they were still non-sovereign territories, we identified the historical entity they were a part of and used that regime's data whenever available For example, V-Dem only provides regime data since Bangladesh's independence in 1971. There is, however, regime data for Pakistan and the colony of India, both of which the current territory of Bangladesh was a part. We, therefore, use the regime data of Pakistan for Bangladesh from 1947 to 1970, and the regime data of India from 1789 to 1946. We did so for all countries with a past or current population of more than one million.       int
