Countries: Thailand (Autocracy that was democratising), Poland (U-turn democratising after a short autocracy period)
Which specific aspects of democracy most commonly improve during democratization? Three indicators that go into the Freedom of Expression Index occupy the top spots: Government censorship efforts of the media is reduced in almost two-thirds of all cases, freedom of academic and cultural expression expands substantially in about half of the processes, and harassment of journalists begins to cease in almost as many. These aspects seem to be key to initiate democratization. Beyond that, rule of law and checks and balances also come out as critical in many cases, such as increasing high court independence and strengthening executive oversight by the legislature.
