Constitutional Protection for Academic Freedom (v2caprotac)
Abstract
This time-series indicator (1900–today) is a simplified version of the Academic Freedom in Constitutions (AFC) dataset, indicating whether or not constitutional provisions for the protection of academic freedom exist. It is updated annually.
The v2caprotac data is free to use, but please cite the V-Dem dataset as well as my paper Introducing Academic Freedom in Constitutions.

I am passionate about exploring and comparing human rights protection and state coercion in democratic as well as authoritarian contexts. For my work and studies, I have received various scholarships and awards, and spent considerable time abroad in countries on five continents. I was previously a visiting scholar at Stanford University, USA, and a research fellow at the Global Public Policy Institute, Germany, where I co-developed the Academic Freedom Index. I hold a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Freiburg.
