Political Leadership as Democratic Infrastructure

The Better Politics Index is the world’s first index focused on measuring the support and development of political leaders as key democratic infrastructure. It offers an evidence-based starting point for analyzing the presence, quality, nature and public perception of the leaders at the center of our democracies – a key element of democratic health that lacks consistent global measurement.

T​he Better Politics Index assesses political leadership systems across four dimensions:

1. Formal Political Leadership Development
2. Institutional Environment
3. Political Leadership Ecosystem
4. Public Trust and Confidence
