Democracy Index 2020 (2019 data)


Democracy Index
Democracy Index


The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index provides an overall view of the state of democracy worldwide in 165 independent states and two territories. This covers almost the whole population of the planet and therefore the overwhelming majority of the world’s states (microstates are excluded). The Democracy Index is predicated on five categories: electoral process and pluralism; the functioning of government; political participation; political culture; and civil liberties. This is the 12th edition of the Democracy Index, which began in 2006, and it records how global democracy fared in 2019.
Democracy index may be a weighted average supported the answers of 60 questions, all with either two or three permitted alternative answers. Most answers are "experts' assessments". Some answers are given by public-opinion surveys from the respective countries. In the case of nations that survey results are missing, survey results for similar countries and expert assessments are utilized in order to fill in gaps.

These questions are clustered into five categories: electoral process and pluralism, civil liberties, the functioning of government, political participation, and political culture. Every answer is converted to a score of either 0 or 1, and for the three-answer questions, 0, 0.5 or 1. The scores are added, multiplied by ten, and divided by the entire number of questions within the category. There are a couple of modifying dependencies, which are explained far more precisely than the most rule procedures. In a few cases, a solution yielding zero for one question voids another question.
