摘要

Despite growing alarm about the decline of democracy worldwide, assessing the extent to which democratic erosion is occurring and, perhaps more importantly, how it is happening is difficult because of data limitations at fine-grained levels of analysis. In this paper, we describe and demonstrate the utility of the Democratic Erosion Event Dataset (DEED), which tracks specific events related to democratic backsliding and authoritarian consolidation around the world, with coverage of 156 countries between 2000 and 2023. The data are publicly disseminated on our website for analysis across regions and over time. We describe the data generation process and validate the dataset by comparing it to complementary data sources. Finally, we discuss how DEED can be used by scholars, policymakers, and journalists to better understand not only if democratic erosion is happening but how the process unfolds.
