The Intercultural Dialogue (ICD) Index scores were calculated based on weighted scoring against 31 indicators, grouped under ten components, which are the broad conceptual categories that we argue effect the possibility of ICD in a country. These scores are then combined to measure a country’s readiness for intercultural interaction across three dimensions: legislative and policy context, structural foundations and intercultural opportunities. A country’s overall score is calculated as a weighted average of the three dimensions.
