First of all, thanks for your advice, David.
I transformed the data into a wide format to take account of each variable per year.
I read about transition models and (cross-)lagged panel-data and I think this is the right way.
However, my model is complicated, that it seems very difficult to put into practice.
To put it simple, 4 items for which I collected data for 7 years (2005-2011) and for 42 countries constitute one latent variable. In an attempt to incorporate all the causalities, I understand that it should look like this for "one" latent variable.

However, I do not know whether this is any right, nor do I know how to go on, as I have four latent variables and these four latent variables are supposed to have an effect on a certain dependent variable.
