Sub-state Autonomy Scale (SAS)

This dataset comprises the data collected for the Sub-state Autonomy Scale (SAS). The SAS is an indicator measuring the autonomy demands and statutes of sub-state communities in kind (whether competences are administrative or legislative), in degree (how much each dimension is present) and by competences (as a function of the extent of comprised policy domains). Definitions: -By 'sub-state community', I refer to sub-state entities within countries for which autonomous institutions have been demanded by a significant regionalist or traditional (centrist, liberal or socialist main-stream) political party (>5%) or to which autonomous institutions have been conferred. -By 'autonomy statutes', I refer to the legal autonomy prerogatives obtained by sub-state communities. -For 'autonomy demands', I distinguish between the legal autonomy prerogatives demanded by the regionalist party with the highest vote share and those demanded by the traditional party with the largest autonomy demand. Detailed conceptual presentation: see the Regional Studies article cited below (the open access author version can be found in the files section). Specifications: -Unit of analysis: sub-state communities by yearly intervals. -Country coverage: Belgium, Spain, United Kingdom (31 sub-state communities). -Time coverage: 1707-2020 (starting dates vary across sub-state communities). *For the full list of sub-state communities and their respective time coverage, see the codebook.

Latest version: 1.0 [01.02.2022].本数据集收录了次国家自治量表（Sub-state Autonomy Scale, SAS）的配套采集数据。该量表作为一项量化指标，从三个维度刻画次国家共同体的自治诉求与自治章程：一是属性维度（即职权属于行政类还是立法类），二是程度维度（即各维度的覆盖广度），三是职权维度（即职权所涵盖的政策领域范围）。 【定义】 - 次国家共同体：指一国范围内满足以下任一条件的次级实体：一是该国超过5%的区域主义政党或传统主流政党（涵盖中间派、自由派与社会主义派）曾诉求为其建立自治机构；二是该国已为其授予自治机构权限。 - 自治章程：指次国家共同体所获得的法定自治职权。 - 自治诉求：本研究将其区分为两类：一是得票率最高的区域主义政党所诉求的法定自治职权；二是提出最广泛自治诉求的传统政党所诉求的法定自治职权。 详细的概念阐释请参阅下文引用的《Regional Studies》期刊论文，其作者公开版本可在数据集文件库中获取。 【数据集规范】 - 分析单元：按年度统计的次国家共同体。 - 覆盖国家：比利时、西班牙、英国（共包含31个次国家共同体）。 - 时间跨度：1707年至2020年（各次国家共同体的统计起始年份各不相同）。 * 若需获取完整的次国家共同体列表及其对应时间跨度，请查阅编码手册。 【引用与致谢】使用本数据集时，请务必引用下文所列的《Regional Studies》期刊论文。 最新版本：1.0 [2022年2月1日]。
