Dear John,
In April 2024, Freedom House launched the latest edition of Nations in Transit, our annual report evaluating the state of democracy across a 29-country region stretching from Central Europe to Central Asia. For the 20th consecutive year, the report measured an overall decline in democratic governance within this region.
A contributing factor to this ongoing decline is the dramatic reordering taking place within the region as countries coalesce into opposing blocs. Between the two poles are Hybrid Regimes, countries where democratic institutions and rights exist, but may be fragile or threatened.
This week, we review three books spotlighting three Hybrid Regimes on different trajectories and what their future holds.
