Countries at the Crossroads: An Analysis of Democratic Governance evaluates government performance in seventy strategically important countries from across the globe, including emerging market countries and at-risk states. The in-depth comparative analyses and quantitative ratings—examining Accountability and Public Voice, Civil Liberties, Rule of Law, and Anticorruption and Transparency—serve as a valuable tool for public analysts, educators and students, government officials, and the business community.
Countries at the Crossroads has established itself as a rigorous and comprehensive analytical tool that helps explain the depth and trajectory of governance reforms in a set of strategically relevant countries. At a time when policy makers and assistance providers are seeking more effective ways to support democratic reforms in at-risk and newly democratizing states, Countries at the Crossroads' detailed country narratives and comparative data provide invaluable guidance.
