- Figure 4.3. India-Pakistan regime type and recurrent militarized disputes, 1947–58. (a) Regime type, (b) regime years, (c) regime type during the initiation of MIDs, (d) no. of MIDs under particular type of regime. Source: Compiled from the COW database (2015), Polity IV, version 4.01. Note: In the Polity IV database, the polity score ranges from +10 (full democracy) to –10 (full autocracy) and the measure of regime is based on a combination of two scores: democracy and autocracy scores. The final regime score is calculated by simply subtracting the autocracy score from the democracy score (see Marshall & Jaggers 2002). Based on these measures, the “stable democracies” are political regimes that score above +6 (+7 to +10); “partial democracies,” or “hybrids,” are those that score from +1 to +6; and finally, those that score 0 to –10 are “autocratic regimes.”
