A map of backsliding democracies (population-weighted)

  1. I think the distortion for population size doesn’t bring anything to this map: It just makes it more difficult to view the classifications of countries.

  2. I think there would be better solutions to show the data. In this case even a normal chart would have done…

    That picture is more than confusing…

  3. Lebanon is a hybrid regime, not just merely a weak democracy. Hezbollah is larger and better armed than the official lebanese army and exerts de facto political control over most of the country’s decision making.
