The meta-geography of the open society: An Auto-CM ANN approach

作者：

Highlights：

• We work on a dataset of five global public available indicators for year 2007.

• We use the AutoCM ANN to analyze multidimensional similarities among countries.

• We classify countries in terms of their orientation toward open society.

• We find that the meta-geography of the global order still reflects the colonialist rule.
