Democratisation of regimes in the period 1820-2010 according to military-technological capability

Caption

Democratisation of regimes in the period 1820-2010: The figure shows the cumulated number of democratised autocracies, when dividing them into two equal-sized groups after military-technological capability. Significantly fewer democratisations have taken place among autocracies with access to fewer military technologies. The partitioning of countries takes into account that the countries’ different levels of economic development affect their access to military technologies.
