"Contains data on the length and type of authoritarian regimes and the type of transition in 91 democratic transitions from 1970-2004. ARTT potentially has numerous applications. It is designed, in particular, to test whether the type of authoritarian regime, the length of that regime, or the type of transition to democracy affect specific components of the democratization process or decisions of new democratic leaders. I compiled this data in conjunction with the Transitional Justice Data Base Project. The data can be found below in an Excel file, and a user’s manual that outlines the case selection, coding definitions for each variable, and case summaries from which the coding decisions are made, is also included."
