The Democratic Erosion Data Dashboard can help you track trends in democratic erosion and autocratic consolidation around the world or in specific countries. For example, if you are interested in Bangladesh, you can select Bangladesh from the dropdown menu below to see all of the precursors, symptoms, and resistance events that occurred there over the last ten years. You can also use the dashboard to identify other countries that have experienced similar trajectories of democratic erosion and autocratic consolidation.
Please note that coverage for countries in the dataset is variable, and data from recent years may be incomplete. DEED v6 includes variables indicating 1) the number of case narratives that were coded for each country and 2) the most recent year that the country was coded. The next version of the dataset will improve coverage for recent years across all countries.
