   Democracy Report 2025: 25 Years of Autocratization -- Democracy Trumped?

   Thống kê

   72% of the world population lives under autocracies (2024); 91 autocracies vs 88 democracies; 96 episodes of autocratization in 64 countries since 1900

   Trích đoạn

   “"As of 2024, 72% of people are living under autocracies, up from 49% in 2004. There are more autocracies (N = 91) than democracies (N = 88) in the world. There have been 96 episodes of autocratization in 64 democratic countries from 1900 to 2019. Once a democracy enters an autocratization episode, the fatality rate is distressingly high: a mere 19 episodes (23%) managed to avert breakdown." ”

   V-Dem uses expert-coded indicators across 31 million data points for 202 countries from 1789 to present. The 72% figure describes population under autocracy globally, not the risk to any individual democracy. The 96 episodes of autocratization across 64 countries since 1900 yield roughly 0.8 episodes per democratic country-century, or ~2.5% per decade for the average democracy. However, this average pools established and fragile democracies. For established democracies (Polity 8+, 20+ continuous years), the rate is lower -- perhaps 1-2% per decade. The 77% "fatality rate" (once autocratization begins, 77% result in breakdown) is the most sobering finding: democratic erosion, once it starts, rarely self-corrects. But onset is rare in consolidated democracies. Used as the primary source for the per-decade hazard rate.

   New Report: Global Freedom Declined for 20th Consecutive Year in 2025 (Freedom in the World 2026)

   Thống kê

   Global freedom declined for the 20th consecutive year; only 21% of world population lives in Free countries, down from 46% two decades ago

   Trích đoạn

   “"Military coups, violence against peaceful protesters, and efforts to weaken constitutional safeguards in 2025 drove the 20th consecutive year of decline in global freedom. Today just 21 percent of the world's people live in countries rated Free, down from 46 percent two decades ago. A total of 54 countries experienced deterioration in their political rights and civil liberties during the year, while only 35 countries registered improvements." ”

   Freedom House's 20-year decline narrative corroborates V-Dem's autocratization trend. In 2025, 54 countries deteriorated in political rights and civil liberties while only 35 improved -- a net deterioration ratio that has held for two decades. But this aggregate motion applies overwhelmingly to fragile democracies and hybrid regimes, not to established Free countries, where the transition rate is far lower. No established Free country (rated Free for 20+ consecutive years) has dropped to Not Free in Freedom House's history, though several have experienced score declines within the Free category. Used here as corroborating evidence for the direction of the global trend, not as the primary hazard rate.

   Độc lập

   Freedom House uses its own expert assessment methodology, distinct from V-Dem's Bayesian measurement model and Polity's institutional coding. Partially independent (some expert overlap).

   Modernization: Theories and Facts

   Thống kê

   No democracy has ever broken down in a country with per-capita income above that of Argentina in 1975 ($6,055); below ~$1,000 a democracy's chance of surviving a given year is barely better than one in three

   Trích đoạn

   “"The simple fact is that no democracy ever fell, regardless of everything else, in a country with a per-capita income higher than that of Argentina in 1975: $6,055." ”

   The democratic survival literature consistently finds that per-capita income is the strongest predictor of democratic stability -- affluent democracies almost never collapse outright. Przeworski and Limongi (1997), analyzing every democracy from 1950 to 1990, found that no democracy above Argentina's 1975 income ($6,055) ever fell, while at very low incomes the annual survival probability is barely better than one in three. (The sole later exception in this literature is Thailand's 2006 coup, at a marginally higher income.) The qualifier "catastrophically ruining" in the question further narrows the outcome -- Hungary's democratic backsliding is real but has not produced Venezuela-style economic collapse. The 2-3% per-decade estimate for established democracies already represents the upper end of the academic consensus; the lower bound (closer to 1% per decade for wealthy established democracies) would yield a ~5% lifetime probability instead of 8%.
