Demokratin i v\u00e4rlden \u00e4r i kris. I b\u00f6rjan av \u00e5ret presenterade tidskriften The Economist\u00a0\u00e5rets demokratiindex-rapport<\/a>, som visar att globala demokratniv\u00e5n \u00e4r den l\u00e4gsta sedan m\u00e4tningen inf\u00f6rdes 2006. L\u00e4nder som USA, Belgien och Frankrike n\u00e5r inte l\u00e4ngre upp till epitetet \u201dfull demokrati\u201d, utan bed\u00f6ms som “demokratier med anm\u00e4rkning” (flawed democracies). Hela listan finns publicerad bland annat p\u00e5 Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Det \u00e4r alltid vanskligt att m\u00e4ta demokrati, eftersom det till stor del handlar om bed\u00f6mningar och v\u00e4rderingar, till exempel n\u00e4r det handlar om vilka indikatorer man v\u00e4ljer att titta p\u00e5 och vilken vikt man l\u00e4gger vid dem. Med detta sagt \u00e4r \u00e5rets demokratirapport fr\u00e5n The Economist Intelligence Unit intressant ur flera perspektiv, inte minst eftersom den utg\u00e5r fr\u00e5n indikatorer insamlade under pandemi\u00e5ret 2020. Det \u00e4r sannolikt \u00e4nnu f\u00f6r tidigt att dra n\u00e5gra l\u00e5ngtg\u00e5ende slutsatser av detta, men vi kan konstatera att demokratin generellt sett inte \u00e4r n\u00e5gon vinnare i k\u00f6lvattnet av nedst\u00e4ngningar och restriktioner. Det \u00e5terst\u00e5r att se om det r\u00f6r sig om tillf\u00e4lliga f\u00f6r\u00e4ndringar, eller om pandemin faktiskt kommer att leda till l\u00e5ngsiktiga f\u00f6rs\u00e4mringar n\u00e4r det g\u00e4ller niv\u00e5er av demokrati, m\u00e4nskliga r\u00e4ttigheter och yttrandefrihet.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All time low<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Faktum \u00e4r att \u00e5rets lista inneb\u00e4r ett ledsamt \u201dall time low\u201d f\u00f6r det genomsnittliga globala demokrativ\u00e4rdet sedan detta index b\u00f6rjade redovisas 2006. Enligt rapporten kan det l\u00e5ga medelv\u00e4rdet dock bara delvis f\u00f6rklaras av \u00e5tg\u00e4rder inf\u00f6rda f\u00f6r att minska smittspridningen i l\u00e4nderna. Det finns andra orsaker till att demokratin tappar mark i v\u00e4rlden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Endast 8,4 procent av v\u00e4rldens befolkning lever i vad som identifieras som \u201dfull demokrati\u201d. Det \u00e4r en anm\u00e4rkningsv\u00e4rt l\u00e5g siffra som manar till eftertanke \u2013 och handling. Den h\u00e4r utvecklingen verkar tyv\u00e4rr ocks\u00e5 f\u00f6ljas med fler inskr\u00e4nkningar i den akademiska friheten. Vi har sett hur medarbetare och studenter vid l\u00e4ros\u00e4ten i flera delar av v\u00e4rlden, som Hongkong och Ungern, under senare utsatts f\u00f6r alltmer hot och repressalier. \u00c4ven i andra l\u00e4nder ifr\u00e5gas\u00e4tts evidensbaserad kunskap och akademisk frihet i allt st\u00f6rre utstr\u00e4ckning, samtidigt som konspirationsteorier och \u201dalternativa fakta\u201d f\u00e5r allt st\u00f6rre utrymme i det offentliga rummet. Vi m\u00e5ste tyv\u00e4rr ocks\u00e5 konstatera att hot, f\u00f6rf\u00f6ljelse och \u00f6vergrepp mot enskilda forskare breder ut sig. Fallet med Ahmadreza Djalali \u00e4r ett tydligt exempel p\u00e5 detta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ser likadant ut<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Det g\u00e5r att s\u00e4tta den negativa globala demokratiutvecklingen i samband med tendensen av minskad akademisk frihet och \u00f6kade hot mot forskare och l\u00e4ros\u00e4ten. Jag skrev h\u00e4romdagen om de sorgliga konsekvenser som KI-professor Jonas F Ludvigsson<\/a> tvingats uppleva efter att ha varit aktiv i samh\u00e4llsdebatten g\u00e4llande pandemin. Han \u00e4r ett exempel av flera h\u00e4r i Sverige \u2013 och nu kommer indikationer p\u00e5 att det ser likadant ut i m\u00e5nga andra j\u00e4mf\u00f6rbara l\u00e4nder. Tidskriften Nature publicerade i onsdags en artikel byggd p\u00e5 en enk\u00e4tunders\u00f6kning som visar att 15 procent av responderande forskare uppger att de utsatts f\u00f6r d\u00f6dshot som en f\u00f6ljd av att de deltagit med kommentarer om pandemin i medier: \u201dI hope you die\u2019: how the COVID pandemic unleashed attacks on scientists<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I en ledarartikel i samma tidskrift<\/a> konstateras att siffrorna \u00e4r chockerande h\u00f6ga och att vi m\u00e5ste agera mot den h\u00e4r utvecklingen. S\u00e4rskilt allvarligt \u00e4r \u2013 precis som jag konstaterade i mitt f\u00f6rra blogginl\u00e4gg \u2013 bristen p\u00e5 st\u00f6d som m\u00e5nga forskare upplever efter att ha utsatts f\u00f6r s\u00e5dant h\u00e4r:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Institutions at all levels must do more to protect and defend scientists, and to condemn intimidation. Of those respondents who told their employers about death threats \u2014 and not all did \u2014 some 20% said their employers were not at all supportive. The proportion was similar for those who had experienced trolling or personal attacks online, although in these cases respondents were less likely to have notified their employer in the first place. (\u2026) Respondents rightly said that scientific societies, funders and governments should talk about the problem and condemn attacks.\u201d<\/p>Nature editorial 13 oktober 2021<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Norden i topp<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

De nordiska l\u00e4nderna brukar ligga i topp n\u00e4r det g\u00e4ller demokratiniv\u00e5er och rapporten fr\u00e5n The Economist \u00e4r inget undantag. Norge ligger p\u00e5 f\u00f6rsta plats och \u00f6vriga tv\u00e5 placeringar p\u00e5 prispallen intas av Island och Sverige. Efter Nya Zealand och Kanada kommer sedan Finland och Danmark p\u00e5 sj\u00e4tte respektive sjunde plats. Det \u00e4r positioner som f\u00f6rpliktigar. H\u00e4r kan inte minst de nordiska l\u00e4ros\u00e4tena ta en st\u00f6rre roll f\u00f6r att sprida v\u00e4rderingar och kunskap som gynnar global demokrati, m\u00e4nskliga r\u00e4ttigheter och yttrande-, \u00e5sikts- och akademisk frihet. Ett konkret och aktuellt exempel p\u00e5 en s\u00e5dan insats \u00e4r den forskartj\u00e4nst som KI nu, tack vare donationer, kan erbjuda en afghansk forskare p\u00e5 flykt<\/a>. Detta sker i samarbete med organisationen Scholars at Risk<\/a>. Att ta emot forskare som inte l\u00e4ngre kan arbeta under akademisk frihet i sitt eget land skickar en stark signal till auktorit\u00e4ra regimer om att det inte g\u00e5r att f\u00f6rhindra forskares frihet och att forskningssamh\u00e4llet \u00e4r globalt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interna strukturer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Det handlar ocks\u00e5 om att utveckla interna strukturer som g\u00f6r att fr\u00e5gor om demokratiska v\u00e4rderingar och akademisk frihet p\u00e5 ett naturligt s\u00e4tt kommer in i den akademiska vardagen, t ex genom att i st\u00f6rre utr\u00e4ckning ta upp dem i samband med utbildningar och fortbildning. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utifr\u00e5n det bekymmersamma globala trender vi ser, och utifr\u00e5n de stabila demokratiska v\u00e4rden som de nordiska l\u00e4nderna uppvisar, g\u00e5r det att dra en del slutsatser. F\u00f6rst och fr\u00e4mst kan det ses som en tydlig uppmaning till de nordiska l\u00e4nderna att ta ett steg fram p\u00e5 den internationella arenan. Vi kan formulera det s\u00e5 att vi har en plikt och ett ansvar att bidra till att sprida demokratiska v\u00e4rderingar, kunskaper om m\u00e4nskliga r\u00e4ttigheter och arbeta l\u00e5ngsiktigt och kontinuerligt f\u00f6r akademisk frihet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u00e4r har l\u00e4ros\u00e4ten som KI en alldeles s\u00e4rskilt viktig roll.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intimidation and persecution of scientists in the light of a democracy in crisis<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 2021-10-15<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global democracy is in a state of crisis. Early this year, The Economist<\/em> presented this year\u2019s Global Democracy Report, <\/a>which shows that it is  at its lowest since the index began in 2006. Countries such as the USA, Belgium and France no longer achieve the epithet \u201cfull democracy\u201d and are instead ranked as \u201cflawed democracies\u201d. The full list can be found on Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s always a tricky business to measure democracy, as it is very much about making judgement calls and values, such as when it comes to which indicators one chooses to consider and the importance one assigns to them. This said, this year\u2019s edition of the Economist Intelligence Unit\u2019s report is interesting in several regards, not least that it is based on indicators gathered during the 2020 pandemic. It\u2019s probably still to early to draw any far-reaching conclusions from this, but we can see that in general democracy has not emerged as a winner from the wake of lockdowns and restrictions.  It remains to be seen whether the effect is a mere hiccup or if the pandemic will cause lasting damage to levels of democracy, human rights and freedoms of expression.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All time low<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The fact is that this year\u2019s list marks a depressing all time low for average global democracy ratings since this index was first published in 2006. According to the report, however, the downgrading was partly the result of pandemic-control measures taken in many countries; there are, however, other reasons for democratic decline around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only 8.4 per cent of the world\u2019s population live in a \u201cfull democracy\u201d. This is a remarkably low figure that invites reflection \u2013 and motivates action. The downward trend also, regrettably, seems to be accompanied by further rollbacks of academic freedom. We have seen how university staff and students in many parts of the world, such as Hong Kong and Hungary, have been subjected to increasing threats and reprisals. Elsewhere, more and people are questioning evidence-based knowledge and academic freedom, while conspiracy theories and \u201calternative facts\u201d are gaining purchase on the public space. It\u2019s also sad to see that intimidation, persecution and violence are becoming an everyday ordeal for individual scientists. The case of Ahmadreza Djalali is a clear example of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No difference<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The negative development of global democracy can be tied to the decrease in academic freedom and the increase in threats against scientists and universities. I wrote recently about the tragic consequences that KI professor Jonas F Ludvigsson<\/a> suffered after having taken part in the public debate on the pandemic. He is an example of many here in Sweden \u2013 and we\u2019re now seeing signs that it\u2019s no different in many other comparable countries. Last Wednesday, Nature<\/em> published an article based on a survey showing that 15 per cent of responding researchers claim that they have been sent death threats as a result of comments they have made on the pandemic in the media: \u201cI hope you die\u2019: how the COVID pandemic unleashed attacks on scientists<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A leader article in the same journal<\/a> laments the shockingly high numbers and urges action against the trend. What\u2019s particularly serious \u2013 just as I discussed in my previous blog post \u2013 is the lack of support reported by many scientists who have been subjected to such behaviour:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Institutions at all levels must do more to protect and defend scientists, and to condemn intimidation. Of those respondents who told their employers about death threats \u2014 and not all did \u2014 some 20% said their employers were not at all supportive. The proportion was similar for those who had experienced trolling or personal attacks online, although in these cases respondents were less likely to have notified their employer in the first place. (\u2026) Respondents rightly said that scientific societies, funders and governments should talk about the problem and condemn attacks.\u201d<\/p>Nature editorial 13 October 2021<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Nordic region best<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Nordic countries usually occupy the top tier in such democracy ratings, and the Economist report is no exception. Norway is in first place, with Iceland and Sweden not far behind. After New Zealand and Canada come Finland and Denmark in sixth and seventh place respectively. These are positions that entail a degree of responsibility. In this sense the Nordic nations in particular can play a greater part in spreading values and knowledge in support of global democracy, human rights and freedoms of speech, expression and academic research. One concrete and topical example of such an initiative is the research position that KI, thanks to donations, is able to offer a refugee Afghan researcher in tandem with the organisation Scholars at Risk<\/a>. Welcoming researchers who are no longer able to work under academic freedom in their own country sends a powerful signal to authoritarian regimes that they cannot quash scientists\u2019 freedoms and that the scientific community is global.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internal structures<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also a matter of developing internal structures that allow questions of democratic values and academic freedom to be a natural part of everyday academia, such as paying more attention to such matters in education and continuing professional development.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some conclusions can be drawn from the worrying global trends and the stable democratic values of the Nordic states. First and foremost, it can be seen as an explicit inducement for these states to step forward onto the international arena. We could say that we have a duty and a responsibility to spread democracy values and ideas of human rights, and to work tirelessly and persistently for academic freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, universities like KI have a particularly valuable part to play. \u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
