What does that even mean? The Reputation Institute, a global private consulting firm based in New York and Copenhagen, has just released its fourth annual list of 50 countries, ranked according to what it says is people\u2019s trust, admiration, respect and affinity for those countries.<\/p>\n<p>Topping the list for the third year in a row: Canada. Sweden comes in second, one place up from last year and Switzerland is third, up from fourth last year. (Australia slipped from second to fourth place.)<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s most notable is how far down the U.S. ranks: 22nd place, behind Brazil and just above Peru. Several European countries that continue to battle severe economic turmoil ranked above the U.S. again this year including Italy in 16th place, France in 17th, Spain in 18th and Portugal in 19th place.<\/p>\n<p>One reason the U.S. doesn\u2019t rank higher, says Fernando Prado, a managing partner at the Reputation Institute, is that when asked what was most important to them in gauging a country\u2019s reputation, respondents said it was effective government and appealing environment a bit more than an advanced economy. But the U.S. has been steadily gaining in each of those three categories, says Prado, which explains why it moved up one place from 23rd last year. Prado adds that the U.S. is burdened by what he calls \u201ca negative emotional halo\u201d that has to do with being a world superpower. Outside the U.S., people have mixed feelings about its dominant role in the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Forbes, Susan Adams reports on the most recent reputable countries report: Which countries have the best reputations?
