    I'm sorry to say but a lot of countries will degrade back to authoritarianism within the next 10-20 years due to economy and political problems.

Like ? Name the countries.

A good bet would be all those places with a long history and tradition of authoritarianism, which have only recently become less authoritarian: Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Tunisia, Burma, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, etc.

And growing authoritarianism everywhere too where there are economical and social problems. This probably includes many, if not all western countries to varying degree.
