This variable specifies the nature of the link between the PGM and the government authority. A PGM can have multiple links to government. We identify four possible links: Person/Minister The PGM is linked directly to a specific person, such as the president or a minister. For example, this might be the case if a PGM was created directly by the president. Political party The PGM is linked to a political party. State/Military institution The PGM is linked to an institution of the state, including the military. Sub-national government The PGM is linked to a sub-national government, such as a state in a federal system.
