The V-Dem Institute is an independent research institute founded by Professor Staffan I. Lindberg in 2014. The Headquarters of the project is based at the Department of Political Science, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.[1]
Varieties of Democracy is a new approach to conceptualizing and measuring democracy.[2][3] 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.[4]
The dataset is updated, expanded and released every year.[5] Based on the current data, V-Dem publishes an annual Democracy Report that describes the state of democracy in the world.[6] The Democracy Report, the dataset, scientific articles, and working papers are free to download on the institute’s website.
