The German Research Foundation (DFG) funds the democracy matrix and has been operating since 2016. It is being conducted by the Chair of Comparative Politics and the German Government at the University of Würzburg. Researchers established it as an alternative to the Democracy Indices of Freedom House and Polity.

The Matrix groups countries based on their rankings into five categories: working democracy, deficient democracy, hybrid regime, moderate autocracy, and hard autocracy.

We will also look at the Freedom House indices and the Economist rankings and could provide our own to fit our political analysis.

  1. Throughout the great design of things you’ll get a B+ with regard to effort and hard work. Where you actually lost everybody was first in the particulars. You know, as the maxim goes, the devil is in the details… And it could not be much more correct at this point. Having said that, let me inform you exactly what did deliver the results. Your writing is rather engaging and that is probably why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, although I can easily notice a jumps in logic you make, I am not really confident of how you seem to unite the ideas which make your final result. For right now I will yield to your position but wish in the foreseeable future you actually connect your facts much better.
