For example, if you are interested in Bangladesh, you can select Bangladesh from the dropdown menu below to see all of the precursors, symptoms, and resistance events that occurred there over the last ten years. You can also use the dashboard to identify other countries that have experienced similar trajectories of democratic erosion.
