Below Zero: Losses in the Domestic Developments

Summing up the country developments from 2016 to 2020, not all G20 member states present positive trends in their domestic development despite relative power shifts anymore (compared to the data from 2005 to 2017). This is indicated by the BPSM Rate of Country Change (CC) which is negative for some G20 member states. While Indonesia shows the biggest downturn over the last years, Italy shows the steepest domestic upward trend.

The Power Scores (PS, bubble size) correspond with the average country shares of a particular year. The Power Shift Rate (PSR) is the difference between the Power Scores of two points in time. The rate of country change examines the development of the country figures without comparing them to the global total. This model reveals whether a country has experienced a positive or negative trend over the years.
