The QD-Index

Abstract

Index combination constitutes the most recent development within the scientific field of democratic quality assessment. In the course of this study, a genuine experimental meta-index, notably the QD-Index, is theoretically conceptualized as well as practically operationalized. Concretely, the Worldwide Governance Indicators, Freedom House and Vanhanen’s Index of Democratization are combined for the year 2006. In general, the QDI enables a more reliable and more valid assessment of democratic quality on a global scale, because it combines the constituent indices’ respective strengths. The QDI results are, however, also biased to some extent, which is due to the methodological particularities of the processed indices.

Indexkombination stellt die neueste Entwicklung im Forschungsbereich der Demokratiemessung dar. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein experimenteller Meta-Index, der QD-Index, sowohl theoretisch konzeptualisiert als auch praktisch operationalisiert. Dazu werden Indices wie Worldwide Governance Indicators, Freedom House sowie der Vanhanen Index für das Untersuchungsjahr 2006 kombiniert. Der QD-Index ermöglicht einer reliablere und validere Messung von Demokratiequalität auf globaler Ebene, da er die Stärken der jeweiligen Ausgangsindices miteinander vereint. Dennoch bleibt ein gewisser Bias der Ergebnisse erhalten, welcher auf die methodischen Besonderheiten der verarbeiteten Indices zurückzuführen ist.
