🌍 Zoom-In South Africa: Challenges and Stabilizing Factors Building on our recent #Blog post, we take a closer look at the current challenges faced by #SouthAfrica while also highlighting the factors contributing to a more positive outlook. Four selected indicators from the #BTI2024 provide valuable insights for this comparison. ℹ South Africa is currently facing a multitude of complex challenges across a range of political, economic, and societal dimensions. These include poverty, unemployment, inequality, economic stagnation, mismanagement, and corruption. As a result, there has been a notable decline in trust in democratic processes and government institutions. 🔍 Here is an explanation of what the indicators in the slides below actually analyze:⬇ ⚡Challenges: #ApprovalOfDemocracy: How strong is the citizens approval of democratic norms and procedures? #SocioeconomicBarriers: To what extent are significant parts of the population fundamentall excluded from society due to poverty and inequality? ✅ Stabilizing Factors: #IndependentJudiciary: To what extent does an independent and functioning judiciary exist? #FreeAndFairElections: To what extent are political representatives determined by general, free and fair elections? 📄 Gain more insights on South Africa by reading the #CountryReport analyzing the 49 #BTI indicators (Link in the comments below). *The qualitative data in the BTI2024 refer to findings taking place before January 2023.* Bertelsmann Stiftung #SouthAfrica #Democracy

🌍 South Africa is poised for a historic shift! In our new #BTIBlog article, our author Jan Hofmeyr analyses how the recent 2024 #election challenges the rule of the African National Congress (ANC). The #ANC, once led by Nelson #Mandela, has governed #SouthAfrica since after the end of Apartheid three decades ago. Opposition parties, especially the newly formed Umkhonto we Sizwe Party of former president Jacob #Zuma, eroded the votes of the ANC. Now, the end of a triumphal era for the ANC may have arrived and the country faces a turbulent, but lively, political landscape, as our #author argues. ❓ But will a marriage of convenience in a coalition be enough to form consensus? ❓ And what other challenges lie ahead? ⬇ Find the link to the article in our comments below. ⬇ Bertelsmann Stiftung #BTI2024 #Analysis

🗺 4,2 billion voters! Over 70 elections! This is the Election Super Year 2024! 🗳 Our latest #Blog article offers an analysis of this landmark year in political #participation. To article ➡ https://lnkd.in/eYrjb7PB The #BTI Team examines how democratic participation is practised globally and asks whether an #election is really all it takes for a consolidated #democracy. 🍬 Here are three snackable #insights for the election super year so far: 🌊 In many parts of the world, democratic participation is vibrant and alive - as elections in #SouthAfrica, #India, and #Panama show. 🚪 Conducting an election does not actually mean people have a choice - proven by elections in #Russia, #Azerbaijan, and #Bangladesh. 🌍 National elections have global consequences. In a multilateral world, a mobilisation of civil society prior to elections and a robust rule of law after elections is vital to ensure democratic participation. Read our #article to take a look back and glance ahead halfway through 2024! The #BTIElectionCalendar offers analyses of the 47 elections happening in BTI #countries in 2024.

🌍 The Global Erosion of Democracy: An Interview on the BTI 2024 Findings 📊 💬 About two months ago, our Senior Expert Hauke Hartmann discussed the #BTI2024 findings and the rise of authoritarianism with Ulrich Timm for Tagesschau24. Here are 3 key points from the Interview: 🔎 Wave of Autocratization: Over the past four years, there has been a notable shift towards autocratic regimes. Out of 137 countries surveyed, only 63 remain democracies, while 74 are classified as autocracies. 📉 Deterioration of Political Rights: This trend is marked by sharp declines of the quality of elections, association and assembly rights, the freedom of expression, and the separation of powers. 🛡 Reversing the Trend: There is reason for hope. The examples of Brazil and Poland, where voters have rebuffed authoritarian trends, show the potential for reversing democratic erosion. The BTI 2024 findings also highlight the pivotal role of civil society and mobilization in the defense of democracy. 👉 The full interview is available here (in German): https://lnkd.in/eaMhsz3G Bertelsmann Stiftung #Democracy #Transformation
