Author: Tatu Vanhanen, born in 1929 in Finland, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Tampere Time: early 1970s The dataset is maintained by the International Peace Research Institute (PRIO) in Oslo.

Variables: - Vanhanen’s country number - Year - Competition - Participation - Index of Democracy - State name abbreviation from the Correlates of War project (COW) - COW country number.

Indicators: Competition and Participation. Both are calculated using election data, and the democracy index is estimated by combining the two. Competition: the percentage share of the smaller parties and independents of votes cast in partiamentary elections, or of the seats in parliament Participation: the percentage of population that voted in elections

Index of Democratization is gained by multiplying Competition and Participation and dividing the outcome by 100.
