These democracies have proven to be remarkably resilient: none have experienced an undemocratic interruption since 1975. The largest share of the third-wave democracies can be found in Europe.Since 1975, 28 countries have transitioned to democracy, of which almost half (12) are new countries that gained independence following the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet/Communist bloc. Most of these are located in Eastern and East-Central Europe, although some are also found in Southern Europe. These countries, which are referred to as third-wave democracies, have also proven remarkably resilient. Only two (Albania and Georgia) have experienced partial democratic breakdowns during this period, with both countries slipping into spells of hybridity but then returning to democracy. Globally, only a small percentage of countries covered by the GSoD Indices (22 per cent or 21 countries) have high performance on all of their democratic attributes. Of these 21 countries, 14 are in Europe, including 11 older democracies in North and West Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom), 1 in South Europe (Spain) and 2 in East-Central Europe (Estonia and Slovenia)…“
