摘要

摘要：最新一期的《世界自由》发现，2022年，全球民主斗争接近一个可能的转折点。在战争、政变和非自由现任者对民主制度的攻击中，全球自由度连续第17年下降。侵犯言论自由一直是长期恶化的主要驱动因素。然而，政治权利和公民自由总体改善的国家数量与总体下降的国家数量之间的差距是过去17年来最窄的。通过更透明和更具竞争力的选举取得了显著的民主成果，而这一年带来了独裁权力局限性的新证据。今天的世界比50年前评估开始时要自由得多，各个威权国家正在进行的反对镇压的抗议活动表明，人们对自由的渴望是持久的。

The Freedom House Survey for 2022: A Turning Point for Global Freedom?

Abstract:The latest edition of Freedom in the World found that the global struggle for democracy approached a possible turning point in 2022. Global freedom declined for the 17th consecutive year amid war, coups, and attacks on democratic institutions by illiberal incumbents. Infringements on freedom of expression have been a key driver of longer-term deterioration. Yet the gap between the number of countries that registered overall improvements in political rights and civil liberties and those that registered overall declines was the narrowest it has been through the last 17 years. Notable democratic gains were achieved through more transparent and competitive elections, while the year brought fresh evidence of the limits of authoritarian power. The world is significantly freer today than it was 50 years ago, when the assessment began, and ongoing protests against repression in various authoritarian countries suggest that people’s desire for freedom is enduring.
