| Summary: | This paper aims to investigate the global democratic decline and
examines specific indicators and qualitative data released by major research bodies around
the world (Center for the Future of Democracy, Freedom House, The Economist Intelligence
Unit, Idea International). It focuses on the status of democracy, quality of democracy and
citizens’ satisfaction with democracy. An overall conclusion is that the world experiences the
worst democratic decline from the past two decades.
Furthermore, a closer analysis is being completed for the United States of America
situation with the purpose of understanding the democratic erosion from 2016-2020. The
current research concludes with a series of recommendations regarding the social
polarization, the spread of disinformation and the ultraconservative movements, and
improvements needed for the overall health of democracy. |
