The events of the last few years have opened eyes and drawn attention across the world to countless struggles for freedom. In this volume, Freedom House, the US human rights advocacy group, presents among other information the findings of the 19th Comparative Survey of Freedom. The background of freedom in each of the nations of the world is presented along with an account of the impact of current events. The status of political and civil liberties is assessed and the country is assigned a rating based on the assessment. The results of the survey are graphically presented in the Map of Freedom, a display of the shifting geography of freedom. In addition to the country-by-country rating, the book offers resource information including tables and charts which show at a glance the major changes that have taken place over the last year.
