Thailand and Myanmar - Indonesia and the Philippines - Vietnam and Laos
To list the countries in order from the most fully democratic to the least democratic, we can consider the Democracy Index developed by The Economist Intelligence Unit. Based on this index, the countries would be ranked in the following order:
1. Philippines and Indonesia
2. Thailand and Myanmar
3. Vietnam and Laos
According to the Democracy Index 2020, the Philippines and Indonesia are considered to have higher levels of democracy compared to Thailand and Myanmar. Vietnam and Laos are ranked the lowest in terms of democracy among these countries.
To determine the democratic ranking of these countries, you can consider commonly used indicators such as political freedoms, civil liberties, electoral processes, and the level of corruption. However, as an AI text-based bot, I cannot perform real-time research or access the latest data. Accordingly, I will provide a general understanding of the democratic rankings of the countries listed based on available data and knowledge up until 2021.
Here is a suggested ranking from the most fully democratic to the least democratic:
1. Indonesia and the Philippines: Both Indonesia and the Philippines are generally considered to have relatively higher levels of democracy compared to the other countries listed. They have active political processes, competitive elections, and relatively more respect for political freedoms and civil liberties.
2. Thailand: Thailand's democratic ranking is more complicated due to periods of military rule and political instability. In recent years, Thailand has experienced significant constraints on political freedoms and democratic institutions. However, it still possesses some democratic elements, although they may not be as robust as in Indonesia and the Philippines.
3. Myanmar: Myanmar has faced decades of military rule, with limited political freedoms and democratic processes. While recent political developments have shown some signs of progress, such as greater inclusion of civilian leadership, it still faces significant democratic challenges.
4. Vietnam and Laos: Both Vietnam and Laos have single-party communist systems that limit political freedoms and competitive elections. The ruling communist parties exercise significant control over the political landscape, and opposition voices are generally suppressed.
It's important to note that democratic rankings can change over time, and assessments may vary depending on the source or criteria used. For accurate and up-to-date rankings, it is recommended to refer to respected international indices such as the Economist Intelligence Unit's Democracy Index or Freedom House's Freedom in the World report.
