Résumé :	NEW YORK, May 24, 2005 - A major new study released today by Freedom House shows that nonviolent "people power" movements are the strongest force in most successful transitions to democracy. The study, "How Freedom is Won: From Civic Struggle to Durable Democracy," focuses on 67 countries where dictatorships have fallen since 1972. It draws on over 30 years of Freedom House data analyzing the state of global freedom and is the most comprehensive examination of political transitions ever conducted. The report's central conclusion is that how a transition from authoritarianism occurs and the forces that drive the transition have significant impact on the success or failure of democratic reform.
