Danilo,
"Freedom House" is a US-based non-governmental organization yet often parrots
the U.S. foreign policy agenda and shares U.S. foreign policymakers values
and perspectives on the world. Their web page is accessible at the following
URL:
They publish "Freedom in the World: The Annual Survey of Political Rights and
Civil Liberties" and their assessments are also available on their web site.
To give you some hint of their line, here is a paragraph from their web
page:
Freedom House is PROMOTING US ENGAGEMENT ABROAD by sponsoring conferences
on the theme of rebuilding a bipartisan foreign policy consensus. The
themes include promoting market democracies, public diplomacy, and a
commitment to Atlanticism. The purpose is to mobilize bipartisan backing
to support the spread of democracy and market transitions. Some
participants include: President Bill Clinton; J. Brian Atwood,
Administrator, AID; Jeane Kirkpatrick, AEI; Rep. Robert Livingston, R-LA;
& financier George Soros.

Best regards at all!
Does someone know if there is something like a map of the liberties of the
various Countries in the World? Something like a thermometer to determine
the degree of freedom in a Country?
Many thanks in advance,
Danilo D'Antonio
