Data for 2025

Mass Mobilization, 2025

2025, as V-Dem Institute’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

V-Dem's measure of mass mobilization asks how often, and on what scale, people took part in demonstrations, strikes, sit-ins and similar mass events during the year — including rallies organised by the state itself. It is an expert-coded estimate on an open-ended scale centred near zero, and a higher figure means more and larger events.

Mass Mobilization, 2025 covers 172 countries. Madagascar is highest, at 3.847; Eritrea is lowest, at -3.318. The middle country reads 0.191. Against 2024, 135 values changed (80 up, 55 down), 3 left.

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from V-Dem Institute’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2025.

  • 169 distinct values among 172

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 2 countries share 0.589. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 172 countries has every column.
