What is this score based on? I had a quick skim of their site but my eyes kinda glazed over, polsci isn't my background. Can someone ELI5?
From my "took a couple polisci courses in college" perspective, this type of index is generally taken with a heavy grain of salt. Basically, the people writing the index take a bunch of stuff the consider important, and rate the countries on it. It's a slightly more formalized version of you looking at two countries with entirely different systems, and saying "I think that one works better"
