The objective of the Global State of Democracy (GSoD) Indices is to provide systematic and nuanced data that captures trends at the global, regional and national levels related to International IDEA??�s comprehensive understanding of democracy. The Indices turn a broad range of empirical indicators from various data sets into measures (attributes, subattributes and subcomponents) of different aspects of democracy. They also provide scores for all independent countries in the world with more than one million inhabitants for the period 1975??�2017. The Indices can assist stakeholders, including policymakers, researchers and civil society actors, in their analyses of trends related to different aspects of democracy, and their identification of priority policy areas.

The GSoD data set includes separate, fine-grained indices and subindices for five attributes of modern democracy: (a) Representative Government, (b) Fundamental Rights, (c) Checks on Government, (d) Impartial Administration and (e) Participatory Engagement.
