Democracy Survey Rating vs. Freedom House Rating
There is a strong, direct correlation between the level of
a country's internal democratic development and its support
for democracy abroad. On a country-by-country basis, these
charts match Freedom House rankings of domestic levels of
democracy with our findings of how each country promotes democracy
beyond its borders.
Ratings
