根据自由之家每年发布的权威《世界自由度》调查显示，2007年自由度呈现下降状态。最重要的发展是一些具有战略意义的国家的自由度下降：俄罗斯、巴基斯坦、孟加拉国、菲律宾、埃及、尼日利亚、肯尼亚和委内瑞拉。在全球范围内，许多国家在结社自由、法治、有效治理和腐败方面都存在问题。自由之家还指出，俄罗斯、委内瑞拉、伊朗和中国等国家对民主的“抵制”日益严重。独裁者正在采用越来越复杂的方法来边缘化反对党、审查媒体和边缘化公民社会。
Freedom appeared in a state of decline during 2007, according to the authoritative Freedom in the World survey issued annually by Freedom House. The most significant development was the decline in freedom in a number of strategically significant countries: Russia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Philippines, Egypt, Nigeria, Kenya, and Venezuela. Globally, many countries showed evidence of problems with freedom of association, rule of law, effective governance, and corruption. Freedom House also pointed to a growing “pushback” against democracy in such countries as Russia, Venezuela, Iran, and China. Dictators are employing increasingly sophisticated methods to marginalize opposition parties, censor the press, and marginalize civil society.
