Caucasus Analytical Digest 63 offers an overview of the major political country rankings and their evaluation of the three countries of the South Caucasus. Each ranking is briefly introduced based on information provided online by the institution responsible for the ranking. For each ranking the position of the three South Caucasian countries is then indicated in tables and graphs. To allow for a comparison, the values of some further countries have been included. With an introduction by Heiko Pleines which stresses that country rankings need to be assessed critically and which points out that a major problem of country rankings is that shorthand representations in the news media overstretch the explanatory power of such indices.
