Map reflecting the findings of Freedom House's 2007 survey, concerning the state of world freedom in 2006, which is widely used by researchers and correlates highly with other measures of democracy^[1]. Some of these estimates are disputed.     Free      Partly Free      Not Free

Freedom in the World is a yearly report by Freedom House that attempts to measure the degree of democracy and political freedom in every nation and significant disputed territories around the world, and which produces annual scores representing the levels of political rights and civil liberties in each state and territory, on a scale from 1 (most free) to 7 (least free). Depending on the ratings, the nations are then classified as Free, Partly Free, or Not Free. The ratings in this table reflect findings based on global events from December 1, 2005 through December 31, 2006. It is often used by researchers in order to measure democracy and correlates highly with several other measures of democracy like the Polity data series^[1]. There is some debate over the neutrality of Freedom House and the methodology used for the FITW report - see the main article Freedom House.

Freedom in the World 2007

An asterisk (*) indicates countries which are "electoral democracies". To qualify as an "electoral democracy", a state must have satisfied the following criteria: Representative democracy is a form of democracy founded on the exercise of popular sovereignty by the peoples representatives. ...

1. A competitive, multiparty political system;
2. Universal adult suffrage for all citizens (with exceptions for restrictions that states may legitimately place on citizens as sanctions for criminal offenses);
3. Regularly contested elections conducted in conditions of ballot secrecy, reasonable ballot security, and in the absence of massive voter fraud that yields results that are unrepresentative of the public will;
4. Significant public access of major political parties to the electorate through the media and through generally open political campaigning

Freedom House's term "electoral democracy" differs from "liberal democracy" in that the latter also implies the presence of a substantial array of civil liberties. In the survey, all Free countries qualify as both electoral and liberal democracies. By contrast, some Partly Free countries qualify as electoral, but not liberal, democracies.^[2] Liberal democracy is a form of government. ...

Survey data and introductory essay are available online. Detailed descriptions of all nations can be found online in Freedom in the World 2006. Note that this is one year earlier than the most recent descriptions which are not available online.
