#DR2026: In 2025, a total of 62 countries are in episodes of regime transformation – autocratizing (red) or democratizing (blue), according to the Episodes of Regime Transformation (ERT) methodology. The color intensity shows the magnitude of the change. Gray = no significant change. 🧵1(3) #Polisky

A map graph showing the 62 countries that are autocratizing and democratizing in 2025. There are 44 autocratizing countries, while only 18 countries are democratizing. Autocratizing countries can be found in all parts of the world, including North America and Western Europe. The map graph also shows that there are many large countries autocratizing, such as the USA and India, while most countries democratizing are small, with the exception of Brazil, Poland and Thailand.

📢 Out Now! V-Dem Dataset v16 & the V-Dem Institute Democracy Report 2026 💾 The V-Dem Dataset: v-dem.net/data/the-v-d... 📰 The Report "Unraveling The Democratic Era?”: v-dem.net/publications... 📈 Explore the new data with the V-Dem Graphing tools: v-dem.net/graphing/gra... #PoliSky #PoliSciSky 1/3

Two map graphs show the state of liberal democracy according to the V-Dem Liberal Democracy index for 2025 and 2024. The higher the score (or darker blue), the more democratic the country. Lower scores (or dark red) mean less democratic. While North and South America, Western Europe and Oceania are mostly in the blue, most parts of Asia and Africa are in the red in 2025.
In comparison to the map for 2024, the map graph for 2025 shows democratic backsliding in some traditionally stable democracies in Western Europe and North America, in particular the USA, United Kingdom and Italy.

Russia loves Trump’s message on Greenland, as Putin has openly said. It is worth asking whether this was a Russian idea. It certainly divides and could destroy NATO, and it distracts from Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

Degrowth in high-income economies cannot be achieved without industrial policy. And green industrial policy cannot achieve its objectives without degrowth. The two need each other. The paper synthesises key insights into an industrial policy framework that can actually work.

No matter how often I see this data, I always find it shocking. Of all the massive growth in output produced by the world's workers since 1980, more than half of it has been captured by the richest 1%. This is what happens when capital controls production.

Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iran’s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. It’s sick.

Although Israel is not a party to the Apartheid Convention, it is nonetheless bound by customary international law to refrain from acts of apartheid. The crime of apartheid constitutes jus cogens: a norm that binds all states, regardless of their treaty ratification status.
