Fragment raportu o Europie Wschodniej:

In 2018 eastern Europe’s overall score in the Democracy Index actually improved marginally, to 5.42, up from 5.40 in 2017, its lowest level ever. But this small uptick leaves the region far below its score of 5.76 registered in 2006, when the index was first compiled. A marginal improvement in the overall regional score was driven by substantial improvements in the scores for just a few countries, including Armenia, Estonia and Macedonia, which more than offset a sharp drop in scores for Russia and Georgia, and stagnation elsewhere. In fact, scores for many countries in the region (11 out of 28) stagnated. In total, eight countries experienced a deterioration in score while nine registered an improvement, often from a low base.

No countries moved category, meaning that none of the region’s 28 countries qualifies as a full democracy; 12 countries are characterised as “flawed democracies” (these include all the 11 EU member states plus Serbia); nine as “hybrid regimes” (the western Balkan states other than Serbia, Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia, Georgia and the Kyrgyz Republic); and the remainder are “authoritarian regimes”. This mixed picture suggests that, despite the small uptick in score in 2018, eastern Europe’s democratic malaise persists, amid a weak political culture, difficulties in safeguarding the rule of law, endemic corruption, a rejection by some countries of liberal democratic values, and a preference for “strongmen” who bypass political institutions, all of which creates a weak foundation for democracy.

“Flawed democracies” fall further

Among the “flawed democracies” in the region, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Lithuania and Latvia experienced an improvement in score, while Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and Romania recorded a deterioration. Slovakia maintained its global rank of 44 but saw a drop in its score to 7.10 from 7.16 previously, owing to a fall in its score for civil liberties–a result of the murder of an investigative journalist, Jan Kuciak, and his fiancée, Martina Kusnirova, in February 2018, an incident that has received international attention and has undermined the government’s credibility and stability. In Hungary, the illiberal policies pursued by the prime minister, Viktor Orban, have earned the ire of the EU and resulted in a decline in Hungary’s score for political culture.

Romania’s score for civil liberties dropped following the implementation in 2018 of several laws that curtail the effectiveness and independence of the judiciary. The chief prosecutor of the National Anti-Corruption Directorate (DNA) was also dismissed in 2018 at the request of the minister of justice and against the views of the Superior Council of Magistracy.

Meanwhile, Estonia fared the best among the region’s flawed democracies in 2018, improving its score to 7.97 and its rank to joint 23rd, from 7.79 and 30th in 2017. This was mainly owing to a significant improvement in political #!$%@? and in perceived confidence in the government and in political parties.

@msichal: w PDF jest metodologia, nie będę tu przeklejać bo długie i mi się nie chce ;). Ogólnie chodzi o postrzeganie demokracji przez społeczeństwo. Chciałbym zobaczyć jak rozbijały się poszczególne składowe tego punktu, niestety nie ma takich detali w raporcie.
@msichal: jednak dało się szybko przekleić z tego PDF. Biorąc pod uwagę polskie narzekanie na demokrację i politykę, to może rzeczywiście nisko wychodzić
