PART and the Democratic Space Barometer

The Predicting Adverse Regime Transitions and Democratic Space Barometer are two related projects we did with the V-Dem Institute at the University of Gothenburg.

PART provides 2-year forecasts (currently covering 2019-2020) for the risk that a country will be more autocratic, using V-Dem’s four-category regimes of the world index.

The Democratic Spaces Barometer produces 2-year forecasts for the probability of substantial improvement or worsening on six different facets of democratic governance.
