Since 1995, the Nations in Transit series has monitored the status
of that change and pinpointed for policymakers, researchers,
journalists, and democracy advocates alike the greatest reform
challenges and reform opportunities facing the countries and
territories that make up this vast geographic space. Covering 27
countries, plus Kosovo, Nations in Transit 2005 evaluates a
12-month period, from January 1 to December 31, 2004, and provides
comparative ratings and in-depth analysis of electoral processes,
civil society, independent media, governance, judicial framework
& independence, and corruption. Owing to the growing influence
of local government and its relation to the reform process, this
year's study provides an in-depth analysis of democratic governance
at the local level, separate from the national level. Freedom
House-which for more than a quarter century has rated global
political rights and civil liberties in its benchmark Freedom in
the World surveys-has developed a ratings system that allows for
comparative analysis of reforms. Nations in Transit findings have
drawn important linkages between democratic accountability, good
governance, and the rule of law. In doing so it has made clear the
essential nature of all of these elements to the development of
stable, free, and prosperous societies. The results are incisive,
authoritative, and comprehensive. Freedom House is a nonprofit,
nonpartisan organization that supports democratic change, monitors
freedom, and advocates for democracy and human rights.
