of the extent to which domestic policy is free from the interference of other states.", "descriptionFromProducer": "Question: Is the state autonomous from the control of other states with respect to the conduct of domestic policy?\n\nClarification: The question of domestic autonomy does not include restrictions emanating from treaties (e.g., NATO), international organizations (e.g., the WTO), or confederations (e.g., the European Union) if these agreements are freely negotiated by the state and if the state is free to exit from that treaty, organization, or confederation. Nor does it include restrictions on policymaking emanating from international market forces and trans-national corporations.\n\nResponses:\n- 0: Non-autonomous. National level authority is exercised by an external power, either by law or in practice. The most common examples of this are direct colonial rule and military occupation (e.g. quadripartite occupation of Germany in 1945). It also includes situations in which domestic actors provide de jure cover for de facto control by a foreign power (e.g. Vichy France). However, control of some part of the territory of a state by an enemy during war is not considered control by external actors if the sovereign government remains on scene and continues to wage conventional war (e.g., the USSR during WW II).\n- 1: Semi-autonomous. An external political actor directly constrains the ability of domestic actors to rule, decides who can or cannot rule through formal rules or informal understandings, or precludes certain policies through explicit treaty provisions or well-understood rules of the game from which the subject state cannot withdraw. Examples include Soviet \"satellite\" states in Eastern Europe, and situations where colonial powers grant limited powers of national self- government to their possessions (e.g., protectorates and limited home government).\n- 2: Autonomous. Domestic political actors exercise political authority free of the direct control of external political actors.\n\nScale: Ordinal, converted to interval by the measurement model.\n\nV-Dem indicator name: `v2svdomaut`", "descriptionProcessing": "The regional aggregates (including values for the World) have been estimated by averaging the country values.", "type": "float", "grapherConfigIdETL": "0195a9e8-a9de-7992-9706-fbdd8a2fd4a5", "dataChecksum": "523410808704333693", "metadataChecksum": "-5704122156842569655", "datasetName": "V-Dem Country-Year (Full + Others)", "updatePeriodDays": 365, "datasetVersion": "2025-03-17", "nonRedistributable": false, "display": {"numDecimalPlaces": 2}, "schemaVersion": 2, "presentation": {"titlePublic": "Domestic policymaking free from foreign influence", "titleVariant": "(central estimate)", "topicTagsLinks": ["Democracy"]}, "origins": [{"id": 3394, "titleSnapshot": "V-Dem Country-Year (Full + Others)", "title": "Democracy report", "description": "The Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) project publishes data and research on democracy and human rights.\n\nIt acknowledges that democracy can be characterized differently and measures electoral, liberal, participatory, deliberative, and egalitarian characterizations of democracy.\n\nThe project relies on evaluations by around 3,500 country experts and supplementary work by its researchers to assess political institutions and the protection of rights.\n\nThe project is managed by the V-Dem Institute, based at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.\n\nThis snapshot contains all 531 V-Dem indicators and 245 indices + 60 other indicators from other data sources.\n\nFor more information, please refer to https://www.v-dem.net/data/the-v-dem-dataset/", "producer": "V-Dem", "citationFull": "Coppedge, Michael, John Gerring, Carl Henrik Knutsen, Staffan I.
