The V-Dem Institute from the University of Gothenburg presents in its Annual Democracy Report 2018 “Democracy for All?” a comparison of the states of democracy of 178 countries between 2007 and 2017. It is a remarkable study from which we have included its signature chart with score and confidence intervals based on the following indicators: suffrage, elected officials, clean elections, freedom of association, freedom of expression and alternative sources of information, rule of law, judicial constraints on the executive, legislative constraints on the executive, an egalitarian component, a participatory component, and a deliberative component. The chart included here demonstrates the advances and backslides of countries from 2007 (lighter markings), just prior to the US banking crisis, to the first year of Donald Trump’s presidency (darker markings). Note how dramatically the U.S. has fallen as a democracy in just a brief ten year period.
