The new Johns Hopkins Global Civil Society Index (GCSI) reveals important variations in scores by country cluster. The GCSI measures civil society capacity, sustainability and impact. The cluster with the highest average score is the Nordic cluster, followed closely by the Anglo-Saxon cluster. The ‘welfare partnership’ countries rank third, largely because of limited scores on the index’s sustainability measure in several countries.

Nordic Finland, Norway, Sweden
Anglo-Saxon UK, US, Australia
Welfare partnership Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain
