from the pdf file itself, my emphasis:

Quote:
The Map of Freedom reflects the findings of Freedom House's 2000-
2001 survey Freedom in the World. Freedom in the World is an annual
institutional effort that monitors the gains and losses for political rights
and civil liberties in 192 nations and 17 related and disputed territories.
For each country, the survey provides a concise report on political and
human rights developments, along with ratings of political rights and civil
liberties. Based on these ratings, countries are divided into three categories:
Free, Partly Free, and Not Free
, as reflected in the Map of Freedom.
In Free countries citizens enjoy a high degree of political and civil
freedom. Partly Free countries are characterized by some restrictions on
political rights and civil liberties, often in a context of corruption, weak
rule of law, ethnic strife or civil war. In Not Free countries, the political
process is tightly controlled and basic freedoms are denied.
i tried to find more detailed info on what the ratings are and how they work, but didnt find anything. perhaps someone else will have more success? im also interested in how free and partly free are defined.
