Data for 2004

Mass Mobilization, 2004

2004, as V-Dem Institute’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

V-Dem's measure of mass mobilization asks how often, and on what scale, people took part in demonstrations, strikes, sit-ins and similar mass events during the year — including rallies organised by the state itself. It is an expert-coded estimate on an open-ended scale centred near zero, and a higher figure means more and larger events.

Mass Mobilization, 2004 covers 174 countries. Ukraine is highest, at 3.008; United Arab Emirates is lowest, at -3.437. The middle country reads -0.242. Against 2003, 68 values changed (32 up, 36 down), the same countries are covered.

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from V-Dem Institute’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2004.

  • 172 distinct values among 174

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 2 countries share -0.177. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 174 countries has every column.
