Jan Teorell has together with Michael Coppedge, John Gerring, Adam Glynn, Carl Henrik Knutsen, Staffan I. Lindberg, Daniel Pemstein, Brigitte Seim, Svend-Erik Skaaning, co-authored the book ”Varieties of Democracy: Measuring Two Centuries of Political Change” (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2020).

“Varieties of Democracy” is the essential user's guide to The Varieties of Democracy project (V-Dem), one of the most ambitious data collection efforts in comparative politics.

This global research collaboration has sparked a dramatic change in how we study the nature, causes, and consequences of democracy.

More than a reference guide, this book raises standards for causal inferences in democratization research and introduces new, measurable, concepts of democracy and many political institutions.”
