A new report has found serious concerns about the state of global democracy as more countries slip in democratic performance.

The Global State of Democracy 2025, published by the Stockholm-based International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA), analyzed democratic performance in 173 countries in 2024.
