Degree to which the actor favors market mechanisms (positive) vs. state allocation (negative).

Scoring rubric

How positions are calibrated on this axis. The conventions guide the scorer; anchored examples show how known MENA actors land at -10, -5, 0, +5, +10.

Score the actor on its stated economic platform and observed policy positions. The axis runs from full state allocation (-10: central planning, broad nationalization, comprehensive welfare state) to laissez-faire markets (+10: minimal state, deregulation, privatized social services). When platforms are partially religiously framed, score on the economic outcome advocated rather than the framing; note the religious framing in the entity description.

Cross-axis correlations

How parties' scores on this axis covary with their scores on each other axis. Pearson r runs from −1 (perfect inverse) to +1 (perfect identity); 0 means independent. Computed across all parties scored on both axes (n shown per row). Strong correlations expose which axes are really measuring the same cleavage in the data; near-zero values are the ones with the most additional explanatory power.
