"The planet is experiencing a veritable global wave of autocratisation, according to the report 25 Years of Autocratisation: Democracy Trumped?, by the Swedish University of Gothenburg's V-DEM Institute. The world now has 88 democracies compared to 91 autocracies, which is a radical change from last year, according to the report. Liberal democracies have become the least common type of regime globally. Almost three out of four people, or 72% of humanity, now live in autocracies, the report points out."
"Radical right-wing nationalist, authoritarian, and populist ideology is on the rise around the world from the Sanseito party in Japan to Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Turkey to Narendra Modi's India. In Europe, Viktor Orban has led 15 years of ultra-conservative government in Hungary, and Italy's Giorgia Meloni has consolidated her power in Italy, a country where getting to the end of a term in office is an exceptional feat."
Far-right movements have expanded globally, becoming more connected, organized, and influential in national governments. The world now has 88 democracies and 91 autocracies, and liberal democracies are the least common regime type. Almost three out of four people, or 72% of humanity, live under autocratic rule. Radical right-wing, nationalist, authoritarian, and populist leaders and parties are gaining power across continents, including Chile, Japan, Turkey, India, Hungary, and Italy. Extremists are institutionalized in many European governments, lead major polls in several strong economies, and have gained support from elements within the United States targeting the EU.
