#anocracy

[memoriae-lectoris]

The United States is an anocracy for the first time in more than two hundred years. Let that sink in. We are no longer the world’s oldest continuous democracy. That honor is now held by Switzerland, followed by New Zealand, and then Canada. We are no longer a peer to nations like Canada, Costa Rica, and Japan, which are all rated a +10 on the polity index.

Civil war experts know that two factors put countries at high risk of civil war. The US has one of these risk factors and remains dangerously close to the second.

The first is ethnic factionalism. This happens when citizens in a country organise themselves into political parties based on ethnic, religious, or racial identity rather than ideology.

The second is anocracy. This is when a government is neither fully democratic nor fully autocratic; it's something in between. Civil wars almost never happen in full, healthy, strong democracies. They also seldom happen in full autocracies.

Violence almost always breaks out in countries in the middle - those with weak and unstable pseudo-democracies. Anocracy plus factionalism is a dangerous mix.

Civil War: Know the Warning Signs

How close is the US to facing an armed insurgency? Damn close. We're already on the cusp of stage 3. We're living in an anocracy. We have sharply divided identity politics dominated by white grievance. We are closer than most of us think.

Is It Too Late To Avoid Civil War and Save Our Democracy? What I love about the social sciences is that all kinds of human interactivey behaviory emotiony cognitivey stuff can be studies systematically and some semi-hard — they’ve got medication for that now — conclusions can be come to — as long as you use the medication and don’t take SSRIs. What I hate about the social sciences is that no…

26 जनवरी 1950 को लागू हुए भारतीय संविधान में आम जनता के लिए क्या है ?

गणतंत्र दिवस पर भी सुबह से ले के शाम तक शुभकामनाओं का ठेर लगा रहता है जबकि अधिकांश लोगों को ये भी नहीं मालूम कि आखिर गणतंत्र दिवस ( Republic Day ) मनाया क्यो जाता है; लोगो को भारतीय संविधान के विषय में भी कुछ नहीं मालूम ! क्यो ना हम गणतंत्र दिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं कहने के साथ, भारतीय संविधान व जमीनी हकीकत को जाने व शेयर करे ? यहाँ हम भारतीय संविधान के विषय मे जानने व समझने का प्रयास करेंगे ……

New data suggests a worldwide "democratic recession" deepened in 2020, with notable declines in the US and India.

Using the POLITY data series, The Center for Systemic Peace has downgraded the system of government of the United States of Americ

Using the POLITY data series, The Center for Systemic Peace has downgraded the system of government of the United States of America from a democracy to an anocracy, a “regime that mixes democratic with autocratic features”. From a notice on the front page of the CSP website:

The USA has dropped below the “democracy threshold” (+6) on the POLITY scale in 2020 and and is now considered an anocracy (+5). It has also lost its designation as the world’s oldest, continuous democracy; that designation now belongs to Switzerland (171 years), followed by New Zealand (142) and the United Kingdom (139). Further degradation of democratic authority in the USA will trigger an Adverse Regime Change event.
