global rankings
Worldwide competitive standings
Global rankings are ordered lists comparing countries, institutions, or individuals across international boundaries.
Universities have global rankings for academic reputation, nations for economic competitiveness or quality of life, athletes for world standing in their sport.
The phrase implies a comprehensive, worldwide scope: The company dropped in global rankings after the scandal.
Rankings may be controversial—methodologies differ, and what gets measured shapes what gets valued.
