Abstract: Abstract There has been an explosion of cross-national datasets purporting to measure various aspects of political institutions and the strength and stability of governments. These have come from a variety of literatures in International Relations, International Political Economy and analyses of economic growth, among others. This explosion has left the researcher with an embarrassment of riches—and an entangling dilemma: what do the measures mean, and which might be most useful for particular empirical purposes?
