Source-This post on Democracy

Report 2024 is based on the article
“India ‘one of the worst
autocratisers’: V-Dem report on
democracy” published in “The Hindu”
on 11th March 2024.

Why in the News?

Source- The Hindu

The 2024 Democracy Report shows that

India, previously labeled as an “electoral
autocracy” in 2018, has worsened across
many measures, confirming India’s status
as a major autocracy.

About the Report

Released by– V-Dem Institute at

Sweden’s University of Gothenburg

Data collection– This report is a joint

effort that engages 4,200 scholars
representing 180 countries. It draws from
31 million datasets spanning 1789 to 2023
and covers 202 countries.

Democracy Assessment Parameters–

The report classifies countries into four
regime types using the Liberal Democratic
Index (LDI): Liberal Democracy, Electoral
Democracy, Electoral Autocracy, and
Closed Autocracy.

What are the key findings of the

report?

India’s Performance
a. India is at rank 104 in Liberal
Democratic Index (LDI), India ranks in the
bottom 40-50% among the 179 countries
reviewed.
b. It has slipped further down in the
Electoral Democracy Index, to 110.
c. India is at rank 92 in Liberal Component
Index.

Spreading of autocratization globally

1. The report notes a global trend of

increasing autocratization, affecting 42
countries and 2.8 billion people, or 35% of
the world’s population.

2. The report indicates that South and

Central Asia has become the second most
autocratic region globally. In regional
terms, Bhutan stands as the sole liberal
democracy.

3. India, with 18% of the world’s

population, holds about half of the
population in countries experiencing
autocratization.

Component indices which add up

1. The V-Dem Liberal Democracy

Index (LDI) measures both the liberal
and electoral aspects of democracy
using 71 indicators from the Liberal
Component Index (LCI) and the
Electoral Democracy Index (EDI).

2. The V-Dem Electoral

Democracy Index (EDI) measures
how well regimes conduct fair elections
and ensure freedom of expression,
access to information, association, and
suffrage for both men and women. It
also evaluates the extent to which
elected officials control government
policy.

3. The Liberal Component Index

(LCI) aims to measure the “liberal
principle of democracy” by emphasizing
the protection of individual and
minority rights against both state
oppression and majority rule.
