Variable: Number of people with military titles in government positions

QoG Code: (wgov_totmil)


Dataset: The WhoGov Dataset

Description:

The number of people in government positions with a military title. It should be noted that we have not done any extra checks on this variable, and solely have relied on the information provided in the ''Chief of State And Cabinet Members Of Foreign Governments'' directory. The information is based on national customs. Thus, in some countries military titles are consistently used, while this is not the case in other countries, and we therefore encourage researchers to be cautious when using this variable.
