In closed autocracies, citizens do not have the right to choose either the chief executive of the government or the legislature through multi-party elections.Which political systems does the ‘Regimes of the World’ classification distinguish? The classification uses data from the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) project and distinguishes between four types of political systems: closed autocracies, electoral autocracies, electoral democracies, and liberal democracies. We identify the political systems of countries with the Regimes of the World (RoW) classification by political scientists Anna Lührmann, Marcus Tannenberg, and Staffan Lindberg.
This tells us how the political rights of the world’s population have changed over the past two hundred years. To answer these questions, we need to combine long-term data on countries’ populations 1 with information on their political systems. How many people have democratic political rights around the world? And how has their number changed over the last two hundred years? If we adopt the common and famous understanding of democracy as rule by the people, we should also look at how many people get to have a say in their government.
