Fiji Ranked 100 in EIU Democracy Index 2008
The results of the Economist Intelligence Unit's Democracy Index 2008 confirm that, following a decades-long global trend of democratisation, the spread of democracy has come to a halt.
Comparing the results for 2008 with those from the first edition of the index, which covered 2006, shows that the dominant pattern in the past two years has been stagnation. Although there is no recent trend of outright regression, there are few instances of significant improvement.
However, the global financial crisis, resulting in a sharp and possibly protracted recession, could threaten democracy in some parts of the world.
Fiji was ranked 100 in 2008, that was prior to the accelerated deterioration of events in 2009 and now in 2010.
Nevertheless, for the record you can download the report here.
