ACKNOWLEDGMENTSSeveral years ago, the copublishers of this report—the Fraser Institute, the Liberales Institut at theFriedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom,and the Cato Institute—began exploring thepossibility of creating a broad measure of freedomaround the world with the help of scholars of varyingdisciplines and nationalities. The timing turned out to beright. What was not possible previously because of a lackof sufficient and reliable global data could now be doneusing new sources and data streams—given a reasonableconceptual and methodological approach. Thus did ourthree institutes decide to pursue the project.This index would not have been possible, or at leastwould not have come together nearly as well as it did,without the discipline, hard work, and dedication of FredMcMahon of the Fraser Institute. Fred not only playeda central role in contributing to the substance of theindex, he managed and moderated many of our seminars,displaying scholarship, a spirit of generosity, and admirableadministrative and diplomatic skills. As part of theproject, he edited Towards a Worldwide Index of HumanFreedom, a collection of essays presented at some of ourseminars, including our own prototype index of humanfreedom and his review of the literature on definitionsof freedom. We thank him for keeping the project in lineand for being patient with us when we sometimes missedour own deadlines.Another key person to whom we are extremely gratefulis Detmar Doering, director of the Liberales Institut. Hisknowledge and expertise helped give direction to the projectfrom its beginnings, and his support in organizing severalmeetings and seminars in Potsdam, Germany, provedinvaluable. It has been a pleasure to work with him, and weappreciate having been able to rely on his good judgment,scholarly input, enthusiasm, and goodwill throughout thisexercise. Peter Graeff of Kiel University also deserves specialthanks for having provided advice and guidance earlyon in the construction of a useful freedom survey.Our colleague Andrei Illarionov, a forceful advocate—in his native Russia and beyond—of the importance offreedom in all its dimensions, was an emphatic proponentof creating this index. His influence at its inception andon its content has been substantial, and we are immenselygrateful to him for his insights and active participation inthe numerous seminars and group discussions that led tothe publication of this report.Because this index builds on the work of the Fraser Institute’seconomic freedom project, we owe a special debtof gratitude to Michael Walker, the former executive directorof the Institute and initiator of that research program,and to the authors of the annual Economic Freedomof the World report, Jim Gwartney, Bob Lawson, and JoshHall. All of them participated actively in the creation ofthis index, generously contributing their time, knowledgeand valuable advice not only during our seminars andother meetings, but in countless emails and telephonecalls. We thank them for laying the groundwork for, andenriching, the current project.We are indebted to our research assistants, MariaAndersen and Mitchell Shabani, for spending untoldamounts of time helping to compile, organize, and checkdata, and for contacting data sources when necessary.Thanks also to our colleague Dalibor Rohac for someresearch assistance and to our intern Cristina Lopez forresearching indicators on women’s freedom.Numerous scholars and other participants in our seminarsalso deserve thanks for benefiting our work with theirtime and input, including Salem Ben Nasser Al Ismaily, IanCarter, Jean-Pierre Chauffour, Tom Palmer, Arch Puddington,Paul Rubin, Erich Weede, Christian Welzel, andClaudia Williamson. As with the others we thank, the usualcaveats apply—the present report ultimately reflects ourown values and judgements, and is not necessarily endorsedby the many people who contributed their thoughtsand expertise. Needless to say, we take responsibility forany mistakes or shortcomings in the final product.Finally, we would like to acknowledge the generouscontribution of the Lotte & John Hecht Memorial Foundationfor supporting this project, and to the sponsorsof the seminars out of which this index arose: the first,in Atlanta, sponsored by Liberty Fund; three in Potsdamsponsored by the Liberales Institut of the Friedrich NaumannFoundation for Freedom; and one in Washington,D.C., sponsored by the Cato Institute.—Ian Vásquez and Tanja Porčnik

INTRODUCTION:WHY WE NEED FREEDOM AND WHY WE NEED TO MEASURE IT“He who seeks freedom for anything but freedom’sself is made to be a slave,” Alexis de Tocquevillewrote in 1856. In the abstract many people in thisworld would still agree with him: Freedom shouldbe a human goal of highest order, a purpose in itself.Everything that makes a human truly human is lackingwhere there is no freedom.However, in the real world things are not that easy.The support of a freedom-based order is in many waysdependent on whether it is able to provide people withother desirable goods, such as prosperity, self-realization,stability, peace, moral improvement, and so on. It also hasto compete with other types of political order. Socialismand other species of illiberal regimes have alwaysbeen a temptation because they seem to promise a directshortcut to achieve these goals without having to rely ona seemingly opaque evolutionary and spontaneous modeof development; it would appear that all that is necessaryis a robust use of unrestrained power.Tocqueville himself had recognized this problem:“Nor do I believe that a true love for liberty can ever beinspired by the sight of the material advantages it procures,for they are not always clearly visible. It is very truethat, in the long run, liberty always yields to those whoknow how to preserve it comfort, independence, andoften wealth; but there are times when it disturbs theseblessings for a while, and there are times when their immediateenjoyment can only be secured by a despotism.Those who only value liberty for their sake have neverpreserved it long.”In 1989 the “end of history” seemed to be near. Freedomhad won over communist tyranny, and the positiveadvantages of the liberal political order had become soobvious in all respects that there was simply no alternativefor it. But, alas, history never ends, and old challengesoften return in a new disguise. It was foreseeable thatthe triumph of freedom was not to last forever, and withthe worldwide financial crisis of 2008 it came into sharpfocus that freedom was under threat again:■■Economic freedom, as a substantial aspect of personalfreedom, was the first victim. In the wake ofthe crisis taxes were raised, financial markets reregulated,free trade restricted, loose monetary policiesintroduced—to name but a few measures taken bygovernments worldwide. While the Economic Freedomof the World report marked a steady increase ofeconomic freedom in the 1980s and 1990s, it hasbecome stagnant, and in some nations, it has sinceregressed. Some countries, such as Estonia, did notrestrain freedom during the crisis, and these faredbetter than those that did. Yet public opinion stillgenerally turned away from capitalism and free-marketeconomics almost everywhere.■■The institutional preconditions of personal freedomsare gradually eroding. Freedom flourishes bestunder a liberal democracy, i.e. a political order thatcombines the rule of the people with constitutionallyguaranteed individual freedoms. This form ofgovernment, which had gained ground globally inthe 1990s, is now on the retreat in some parts of theworld. Especially in the former Soviet empire, wheredemocratic institutions were almost universally adoptedafter 1989, autocracy has returned in manycountries. Personal freedom has suffered dramaticallyduring this process. Indeed, it is rather personalfreedom than democracy against which theseregressive tendencies are directed, because at leastthe outward forms of democracy, such as generalelections, are mostly maintained. Meanwhile thefreedoms that are prerequisites for liberal democracy,such as press freedom, are curtailed. Russia hasbecome a kind of role-model for this tendency, inwhich elections still do take place, but freedom ofspeech, freedom of assembly, and the rule of law areseverely repressed.■■Political instability and war, after having decreasedin the past couple of decades, are on the uptick. Inmany “hotspots” of the world, kleptocratic governmentsare challenged by new totalitarian movements.Militant “Islamism” in countries such as Iraq,Libya, or Syria has provided no constructive answerto their respective countries and has establishedregimes of terror. Liberal democracies have found

no proper answer on how to contain this tendency.Freedom can hardly flourish under such conditions,and the prospect of prolonged wars will make a liberalrevival less probable. As Tocqueville said in 1835:“All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democraticnation ought to know that war is the surestand shortest means to accomplish it.”■■Lastly, in recent years China and some minor “economictigers” such as Vietnam and Arab monarchiessuch as Bahrain have, at least in public perception,provided us with a new model for economic growth.A new political mythology holds that only strictly organizedauthoritarian regimes can create strategiesfor growth and wealth, while pluralistic democraciescannot agree on such a strategy. This myth is ratherthe product of a very selective perception of the truesuccesses or failures of autocracies or democracies.While there may be a few successful authoritarianregimes, these are certainly exceptions to the rule.The vast majority of illiberal regimes preside overmisery, squalor, and corruption.This is why it is so important to get things right. Hardfacts must counter the perception that freedom is somehowfailing to achieve the goal of a better society whileserfdom succeeds.That is where our new Human Freedom Index sets in.It provides the following:■■Information on the state of freedom in the world.Freedom often gets lost slice by slice and is not perceivedas such. The Index can improve our understandingof the hidden processes of de-liberalization.■■Information about the positive effects of freedom forthe individual and society. This allows us a comparativeanalysis of the relationship of freedom and other desirablesocial indicators such as democracy and prosperity.Here is the reason we have focused so narrowly on personalfreedom as the absence of coercion. Only this allowsus to relate freedom to some of its preconditions.We will be able, for instance, to counter the argumentthat some freedoms can be safely put into the hands ofdictatorial regimes. Also, we can examine some cognitivedissonances over the relationship between variousfreedoms, such as the question of whether personaland civil liberties are generally compatible.Thus the Human Freedom Index may help us tounderstand some of the complexities of freedom in thisworld. It is an intellectual challenge we must confrontso that freedom will prevail. And it is part of a process oflearning how to preserve our freedom. Again, Tocquevillegot it right when he wrote: “Nothing is more wonderfulthan the art of being free, but nothing is harder to learnhow to use than freedom.”—Detmar Doering, Liberales Institut

THE HUMAN FREEDOM INDEX:A GLOBAL MEASUREMENT OF PERSONAL, CIVIL, ANDECONOMIC FREEDOMBy Ian Vásquez and Tanja PorčnikEXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe index published here presents a broadmeasure of human freedom, understoodas the absence of coercive constraint. Ituses 76 distinct indicators of personal andeconomic freedom in the following areas:■■Rule of Law■■Security and Safety■■Movement■■Religion■■Association, Assembly, and Civil Society■■Expression■■Relationships■■Size of Government■■Legal System and Property Rights■■Access to Sound Money■■Freedom to Trade Internationally■■Regulation of Credit, Labor, and BusinessThe Human Freedom Index (HFI) is the most comprehensivefreedom index so far created for a globally meaningfulset of countries. The HFI covers 152 countries for 2012,the most recent year for which sufficient data is available.The index ranks countries beginning in 2008, the earliestyear for which a robust enough index could be produced.This preliminary report will be updated (using data for 2013)and subsequently presented and updated on a yearly basis.On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 represents more freedom,the nonweighted average rating for 152 countries in2012 was 6.96. The level of global freedom stayed aboutthe same compared to 2008, but almost all countriesexperienced changes in their ratings, with about half ofthose increasing their ratings and half decreasing.The top 10 jurisdictions in order were Hong Kong,Switzerland, Finland, Denmark, New Zealand, Canada,Top 10 Freest Countries1. Hong Kong 6. Canada2. Switzerland 7. Australia3. Finland 8. Ireland4. Denmark 9. United Kingdom5. New Zealand 10. SwedenAustralia, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Sweden. TheUnited States is ranked in 20th place. Other countries rankas follows: Germany (12), Chile (18), Japan (28), France (33),Singapore (43), South Africa (70), India (75), Brazil (82),Russia (111), China (132), Nigeria (139), Saudi Arabia (141),Venezuela (144), Zimbabwe (149), and Iran (152).Out of 17 regions, the highest levels of freedom are inNorthern Europe, North America (Canada and the UnitedStates), and Western Europe. The lowest levels are in theMiddle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, andSouth Asia. Women’s freedoms, as measured by five relevantindicators in the index, are most protected in Europeand North America and least protected in South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East and North Africa.Countries in the top quartile of freedom enjoy a significantlyhigher per capita income ($30,006) than thosein other quartiles; the per capita income in the least-freequartile is $2,615. The HFI finds a strong correlationbetween human freedom and democracy. Hong Kong isan outlier in this regard.The findings in the HFI suggest that freedom playsan important role in human well-being, and they offeropportunities for further research into the complex waysin which freedom influences, and can be influenced by,political regimes, economic development, and the wholerange of indicators of human well-being.Ian Vásquez is director of the Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity at the Cato Institute.

6“Somethinkers,such as Platoor Hobbes,definedfreedom insuch a waythat justifiedextensive orabsolutistrule oversociety.”INTRODUCTIONThis report presents a broad measure ofhuman freedom around the world. It reflectsa multi-year program of research and discussionsheld in Europe and North America andinvolving scholars from many disciplinesand countries. It uses, adapts, and evolvesthe methodologies that emerged from thedecades-long work of the Fraser Institute todefine and measure economic freedom withthe Economic Freedom of the World index. 1 Theeconomic freedom project has demonstratedthe power of such measurement to increaseunderstanding about the concept of freedomand its contribution to human well-being.A central purpose of this report is to get ageneral but reasonably accurate picture of theextent of overall freedom in the world. A largerpurpose is to more carefully explore what wemean by freedom and to better understand itsrelationship to any number of other social andeconomic phenomena. This research could alsohelp us more objectively observe the ways inwhich various freedoms—be they economic orcivil, for example—interact with one another.We hope that this index will become a resourcefor scholars, policymakers and interested laypersonsalike, and that its value will increase asit is regularly updated, thus allowing us to observenumerous relationships through time.The research program which has led tothe human freedom index presented in thisstudy casts a wide net in an attempt to captureas broad a set of freedoms as could be clearlyidentified and measured. Some freedoms thatcould be clearly identified, such as the freedomto use drugs, could not be included sinceinternationally comparable data could not befound. In other cases, data and clarity couldonly be achieved for too few countries to satisfythe goal of making a global index. The indexin this report is the most comprehensive freedomindex ever created for a globally meaningfulset of countries.That said, we and the authors of the otherpreliminary papers and indices that have contributedto the creation of this index 2 recognizethat the global characterization of thestate of human freedom published here is verymuch a work in progress. It is published withsatisfaction but also with humility. We believethat we have constructed a Human FreedomIndex that provides a solid foundation for theensuing work of refinement and recalibrationin the face of new data sources and newunderstanding as time passes. In that spirit,the members of the project encourage otherresearchers to contribute to the developmentof the index by using it to explore the relationshipsbetween freedom and other aspects ofthe human condition. We also welcome critiques,which may be appropriate in furtherconsideration of the data found in the indexand published in this volume.CONCEPT AND APPROACHThe contest between liberty and power hasbeen ongoing for millennia. For just as long, ithas inspired competing conceptions of freedom.Some thinkers, such as Plato or Hobbes,defined freedom in such a way that justifiedextensive or absolutist rule over society. Others,such as the 6th-century B.C. Chinese philosopherLao-tzu, or the 16th-century Spanishscholastics, expressed and developed ideasconsistent with the view of the father of modernpolitical philosophy, John Locke, that freedomimplies that an individual not “be subjectto the arbitrary Will of another, but freely followhis own.” 3This index follows that latter tradition,which in the past several hundred years hasshaped the modern, liberal world. Freedomin our usage is a social concept that recognizesthe dignity of individuals and is definedby the absence of coercive constraint. 4 (Thatcontrasts with a mechanistic concept wherebyanything that limits a person’s ability to dowhat she wants—be it a natural, physical barrieror another person who happens to be standingin her way—is considered an infringementon her freedom.) Freedom thus implies thatindividuals have the right to lead their livesas they wish as long as they respect the equalrights of others.

Isaiah Berlin best elucidated this notion offreedom, commonly known as negative liberty.5 In the simplest terms, negative libertymeans non-interference by others. Berlin contraststhat type of liberty with positive liberty,which requires an individual removing of constraintsthat impede one’s personal improvementor the fulfillment of his potential. Whenpositive liberty, however, is imposed by others,it undermines negative liberty since individualsnaturally have conflicting views on whetherand how to achieve self-improvement. As inthe case of the totalitarian systems of the 20thcentury, this allows rulers to ignore the wishesof people and commit torture and other atrocitiesin the name of some higher form of freedom.Berlin further warned, as did FriedrichHayek, against the not uncommon tendencyto call “other good things”—think of incomeor housing, for example—“freedom,” since thismerely causes confusion. 6Negative liberty is the only kind that canbe adequately measured. That is because “itcomes in only one flavor—the lack of constraintimposed on the individual,” 7 whereaspositive freedom is far more likely to meandifferent things to different people and thuscannot be measured independent of the goalsthat conflicting ideologies or groups mightidentify with freedom.This index is thus an attempt to measurethe extent to which the negative rights ofindividuals are respected in the country observed.By negative rights, we mean freedomfrom interference—predominantly by government—inpeople’s right to choose to do, say,or think anything they want, provided that itdoes not infringe on the rights of others to dolikewise. These rights protect freedoms suchas freedom of religion, freedom of speech,freedom of assembly, sexual freedom, economicfreedom, and so on. Some of the rightsthat individuals legitimately claim depend partiallyor wholly on action by government to berealized. The right to personal security is themost important, but security in one’s propertyrights, and the rule of law, also require governmentaction.While aspects of liberty associated withdemocracy and political freedom—freedom ofspeech, assembly, public demonstration—areincluded in this index, democracy or politicalfreedom are not. Political freedom is importantbut it does not mean democracy aloneor unrestrained democracy. It is ideally somecombination of the division of power, limitedgovernment, decentralization, and structuralcharacteristics designed to control the powersof the majority. For example, countries suchas Canada and the United States have democraticelections and constitutional constraintas well as separation of powers and decentralization.The United Kingdom has checksand balances and other limits on power, buthas no written constitution. The issue of howpolitical freedom can best be determined andwhich of its forms is most consistent with personal,economic, and civil freedom is a majorarea of ongoing research. This project and themeasures provided do not address this topicdirectly. However, it is hoped that the dataprovided here will assist researchers as theyseek to determine the political structure mostconsistent with political freedom and the sustainabilityof personal, economic, and civilfreedom. In that spirit, we look at the correlationbetween human freedom and democracyin the final section of this report. 8Our criteria in selecting data for the indexfollow those used by the Economic Freedomof the World Project. The data come fromcredible external sources and, for the sake ofobjectivity, are not generated by the authors;the index is transparent on methodology andsources; and the report covers as large a numberof countries over as long a time period aswas possible given the data available. As notedabove, we generally measure official restrictionson freedom, although some measurescapture social or non-official violations of liberty(e.g., violence or conflict measures).This index fills a gap in the literature by examiningoverall freedom including economicand other human freedoms. Existing economicfreedom indices examine only the former, ofcourse. Similarly, other surveys of freedom7“Freedom inour usageis a socialconcept thatrecognizes thedignity ofindividualsand isdefined bythe absenceof coerciveconstraint.”

8“This index forthe first timedevelops abroadmeasure ofhumanfreedomrather thanselect aspectsof it.”focus on subsets of freedom that also excludeeconomic freedom. Yet all these freedoms arecrucial. In fact, early systemic writings on freedomin the Enlightenment often focused oneconomic liberalism, or what we would identifywith economic freedom, as an intrinsic partof overall freedom.This index thus for the first time develops abroad measure of human freedom rather thanselect aspects of it. We combine economicfreedom measures from the Economic Freedomof the World (EFW) index with measures ofwhat we call personal freedoms. Our definitionof economic freedom is that of Gwartney et.al: “Individuals have economic freedom whenproperty they acquire without the use of force,fraud, or theft is protected from physical invasionsby others and they are free to use, exchange,or give their property as long as theiractions do not violate the identical rights ofothers.” 9 Economic freedom thus exists whenthere is voluntary exchange, competition, personalchoice, and protection of persons andtheir property.One of the biggest challenges in constructingany index is the organization and weightingof the variables. Our guiding principle is thatthe structure should be simple and transparent.All the data that we use in the index areavailable and their organization clearly presented.This means that other researchers mayrestructure the index to their own preferences.This strategy is employed in many global indices,among them the Economic Freedomindex. We believe the structure and weightingwe have chosen (after long discussions with ouradvisory group), if not perfect for everyone,makes sense and is consistent with the literatureon freedom. 10The economic freedom index receives halfthe weight in the overall index, while safetyand security and other personal freedoms thatmake up our personal freedom index receivethe remaining weight. We weigh economicand all personal freedoms in our index equallyfor two reasons. First, economic activities, arguably,predominate in the everyday lives ofmost people as they seek, at a minimum, tosurvive, and to otherwise improve their welfare.Thus the strong weighting for economicfreedom reflects how we live our lives. Second,economic freedom decreases the dependenceof individuals on government or other potentialforces in society that would restrict libertyor attempt to centralize power. As such, economicfreedom is not just inherently valuable;it empowers individuals to exercise other freedoms.Thus, the weighting reflects how economicfreedom interacts with other freedoms.This point is illustrated by a remark ofFriedrich Hayek’s: “A complete monopoly ofemployment . . . would possess unlimited powersof coercion. As Leon Trotsky discovered:‘In a country where the sole employer is thestate, opposition means death by slow starvation.The old principle, who does not workshall not eat, has been replaced by a new one:who does not obey shall not eat.’” 11That is an extreme case, but it illustrates thebroader point that where economic freedom islimited, the government or powerful cliquespossess great control over where you work,level of pay, whether you are able to find employmentin the formal economy (with manyattendant benefits), whether you get a promotion,where you live (and whether you are subsidized),what kind of job you have, whetheryou are able to adequately feed and clothe yourfamily, and so on. Thus in the absence of economicfreedom, the powers-that-be have manytools of coercion to block other freedoms.These tools of coercion fade as people gain thepower to make their own economic decisions.We therefore equally weigh economic freedombecause of its central importance in dailylife and because it enables other freedoms. Thisweighting, like any weighting in any index, willnot be perfect, but we believe it is a good approximationof how people live their lives andthe relation between economic and other freedoms.A description of the economic freedomstructure and index methodology can be foundin the EFW annual reports. (See Appendix A forthe components that make up the EFW index).For the personal freedom sub-index, we use34 variables covering 141 countries for the year

2008, 153 countries for the year 2010, and 152countries for the years 2011 and 2012. In selectingthe countries we limited ourselves tothose that are presented in the EFW report. 12In selecting time periods, we use 2008 as theearliest year for which we were able to producea robust enough index (many indices of civilor other liberties are relatively new for a largenumber of countries). We use 2012 as the mostrecent year in our index since much 2013 datais not yet available.In the personal freedom index, we havetwo equally weighted parts. The first is legalprotection and security, made up of (1) Rule ofLaw and (2) Safety and Security. The other halfof the personal freedom index is made up ofspecific personal freedoms: (1) Movement; (2)Religion; (3) Association, Assembly, and CivilSociety; (4) Expression; and (5) Relationships.This too we believe provides an advanceover other freedom indices, which fail to accountfor the interaction between the rule oflaw and security on the one hand and specificfreedoms on the other. Without the rule oflaw and security, specific freedoms cannot ina practical sense be lived out. The rule of lawand security are essential to provide reasonableassurance that life is protected. Securityand safety are fundamental for survival and forthe exercise of a vast array of freedoms. Therule of law, by providing predictable order andreducing arbitrary conduct by the authorities,further facilitates an environment in whichfreedoms are safeguarded. Without securityor the rule of law, liberty is degraded or evenmeaningless. The most famous expression ofthis is perhaps found in Locke, who conceptualizedthe rule of law and security as a unifiedbundle, just as we do:The end of law is not to abolish or restrain,but to preserve and enlarge freedom:for in all the states of created beingscapable of laws, “where there is nolaw, there is no freedom;” for liberty is tobe free from restraint and violence fromothers; which cannot be where there isnot law: but freedom is not, as we aretold, “a liberty for every man to do whathe lists:” (for who could be free, whenevery other man’s humour might domineerover him?) but a liberty to dispose,and order as he lists, his person, actions,possessions, and his whole property,within the allowance of those laws underwhich he is, and therein not to besubject to the arbitrary will of another,but freely follow his own. 13A security state may increase or appear toincrease some aspects of safety, but it wouldcurtail freedoms by empowering the state toviolate rights. Thus, legal security and specificpersonal freedoms are both necessary conditionsfor high levels of personal freedom. Webelieve the equal weighting provides a reasonableapproximation of this interaction.Table 1 outlines the categories and the variablesin each category. Each indicator is ratedon a 0-10 scale, with 10 representing the mostfreedom. We average the main variables (denotedby Roman numerals below) in each categoryto produce an average for each of the seven categories.Note that several of the main variablesare made up of subvariables whose values areaveraged to produce the main variable rating.We then average the Rule of Law and the Safetyand Security categories and average that ratingwith the average of the remaining categories toproduce a final rating on the personal freedomindex.To produce the Human Freedom Index weaverage the final country ratings of the economicand personal freedom indexes. The HumanFreedom Index is thus derived from a totalof 76 distinct variables (42 from the EconomicFreedom index and 34 from the Personal Freedomindex).WHAT THE PERSONAL FREEDOMINDEX MEASURESThe index captures the degree to whichpeople are free to enjoy the major freedomsoften referred to as civil liberties—freedom ofspeech, religion, and association and assembly9“Economicfreedom isnot justinherentlyvaluable; itempowersindividuals toexercise otherfreedoms.”

Table 1 Continuediv. Freedom of Access to Foreign Information—in the countries in the survey. In addition, itincludes indicators on rule of law, crime and violence,freedom of movement, and legal discriminationagainst same-sex relationships. We alsoinclude five variables pertaining to women’sfreedom that are found in various categoriesof the index. (For an overview of the sources ofour data, see the table in Appendix B.)We would have liked to have included otherimportant variables, such as those quantifyingdrug and alcohol prohibition, but we found noreliable data sources that conformed to ourmethodological principles. What follows is abrief description and justification of the datawe use. For a more detailed description of thedata sources, what they measure, and theirmethodology, see Appendix C.Rule of Lawa. Access to Foreign Televisionb. Access to Foreign Newspapersv. State Control over Internet AccessE. Relationshipsi. Parental Rightsii. Same-sex Relationshipsa. Male-to-Male Relationshipb. Female-to-Female RelationshipThe rule of law is an essential conditionof freedom that protects the individual fromcoercion by others. John Locke’s emphasis onthe importance of law in securing and enlargingfreedom, cited above, is an early formulationof that concept. A society ruled “by law,not men” implies that laws apply to everybody,including the authorities, that they be publiclyknown and understood, and that they limitthe arbitrary decisions of rulers. To furtherincrease the scope of individual freedom andreduce potential rule by personal will, Hayekproposed that laws be general and abstract;that is, that they be ignorant of particular casesand “not single out any particular persons orgroup of persons.” 14 The above attributes alsoprovide a social order which allows people tomore easily pursue their individual ends. Individualfreedom is therefore dependent on therule of law, a broad concept that encompassesdue process, equal treatment under the law,accountability of government officials, andnotions of fairness, predictability, and justice.We use indicators from the World JusticeProject’s Rule of Law Index 15 that are consistentwith our definition of freedom. It shouldbe noted that the Economic Freedom of theWorld index includes nine variables in the areaof “Legal System and Property Rights” thatseek to measure “how effectively the protectivefunctions of government are performed.”Thus, the rule of law measures included in thepersonal freedom index add to those in theeconomic freedom index to produce a somewhatheavier weighting of the rule of law in theoverall Human Freedom Index.The first component [1Ai] rates what wehave termed procedural justice. It is composedof the average of three indicators measuring“the right to life and security” of a person; “dueprocess of law and rights of the accused;” and“freedom from arbitrary interference with privacy.”The first of those indicators refers to violationsby the police or government when conductingan arrest or a search, for example. 16 Thesecond indicator refers to such issues as the extentto which police or the authorities respectthe presumption of innocence, arrest peopleon genuine and formally declared charges, treat11“The ruleof law is anessentialcondition offreedom thatprotects theindividualfrom coercionby others.”

12“Governmentsthat restrictpeople’smovementgreatly limitthe scopeof overallliberty.”suspects humanely in custody, provide the accusedfull access to evidence, and the like. Thethird indicator refers to such violations as governmentswiretapping private communicationswithout judicial authorization.The second component [1Aii] rates civiljustice on such issues as whether it is free ofdiscrimination, corruption, and impropergovernment influence. It also measures theextent to which alternative dispute resolutionmechanisms are accessible, impartial, and effective.The third component [1Aiii] measuresthe criminal justice system on such issues as itsimpartiality, its level of corruption, and the degreeto which improper government influenceis present.By including the rule-of-law category, theindex more fully captures the extent to whichpeople are exposed to abuse by the authoritiesand is therefore consistent with measuringwhether and by how much one is “subject toanother man’s will,” 17 to use Hayek’s expression.The indicators we use not only rate thedegree to which the rule of law may be undermined;they are also measures of negativerights. Like safety and security, explained below,the rule of law concept included here significantlyexpands the scope of freedom bylimiting coercion from a diversity of potentialsources, including the most powerful entitiesor individuals in society, thus encouraging otherfreedoms to flourish and meriting the relativelygreater weight we give it in the index.Security and SafetyThe rights to life and safety from physicalaggression have long been recognized as fundamentalto liberty. Violence of any kind, exceptin self-defense or in the administration of justice,reduces personal freedom and, in the caseof violence that results in death, eliminates italtogether. In societies with low levels of personalsafety and physical security from harm, itis difficult to exercise other freedoms, or evento survive. Like the rule of law, security andsafety are thus important in safeguarding overallfreedom. (Indeed, the provision of domesticand national security is a service that mostclassical liberals consider a proper function ofgovernment.) Unlike the rule of law category,which concerns rules that seek to reduce coercion,the security and safety category measuresactual crimes committed. It attempts to measurethe degree to which people who have notviolated the equal rights of others are physicallyassaulted, kidnapped, killed, or their physicalintegrity or safety are otherwise violated.Because security is necessary to fully exercisethe whole array of freedoms, we give this categoryequal weight to the rule of law category,and both together are weighed equally with therest of the personal freedom index.Whether perpetrated by ordinary criminals,governments, organized gangs, politicalgroups, or individuals following tradition,crime and physical transgressions reduce personalfreedom in any society. The first component[1Bi] measures the homicide rate. Herewe ignore optimal-level-of-crime considerationsor, as with the rule-of-law category, anyaccount of the use of public resources to providea public good intended to enhance freedom,but that by its nature (taxation) representsa reduction in freedom. 18The second component [1Bii] measuresdisappearances, conflict, and terrorism. It ismade up of a number of variables. The firstmeasures politically motivated disappearances.The following two variables—violent conflictsand internally organized conflicts—measurethe extent to which war or armed conflictwith internal or external aggressors impingeson personal freedom in observed countries.The violent conflicts variable reflects battlerelateddeaths per capita. For the level of internallyorganized conflict, we use a “qualitativeassessment of the intensity of conflicts within”each country used by the Global Peace Index,but derived by the Economist IntelligenceUnit (EIU). The next two variables rate thelevel of fatalities and injuries resulting fromterrorism. Those figures, from the Universityof Maryland’s Global Terrorism Database, includedeaths and injuries of both perpetratorsand victims.The next component rates women’s securi-

ty [1Biii]. It is made up of three variables. Thefirst measures the prevalence of female genitalmutilation among the population of womenin a given country. The next indicator refersto the number of missing women in a country,typically due to sex-selective abortions and infanticideof females. The final variable in thiscomponent measures whether the legal systemfavors males when it comes to inheritance, aninfringement on the liberty of parents andthe daughters to whom they might otherwisechoose to bequeath their assets, and a realitythat in many countries subordinates women tothe power of men, often putting them in economicallyprecarious or physically vulnerablesituations.MovementThe freedom to travel is a basic human rightand essential to a free society. Governmentsthat restrict people’s movement greatly limitthe scope of overall liberty, as those limits severelyreduce the ability of people to engage in awide range of peaceful activities of their choosing.The first two indicators in this category ratethe freedom to leave the country [2Ai] and thefreedom of domestic movement [2Aii], respectively.The third component, women’s movement[2Aiii], measures the extent to whichwomen can “move freely outside of the house.”ReligionFree societies respect the right to practicea religion of one’s choosing. The exercise of religioncan be both a supremely private matterinvolving a person’s strongest beliefs and a socialaffair practiced in an organized way amonglarger groups. Restrictions on that fundamentalfreedom have been the source of some ofthe bloodiest and most drawn out conflictsthrough history, and they continue to animatediscord in numerous countries today.Both components in this category are selfexplanatory.The first rates freedom to establishreligious organizations [2Bi] and thesecond rates the autonomy of religious organizations[2Bii].Association, Assembly, and Civil SocietyThe freedom to associate and assemble withpeaceful individuals or organizations of one’schoice and to form or join organizations for political,commercial, or other ends is an essentialpart of individual freedom and a basis of civilsociety. This category is made up of four components:freedom of association [2Ci], freedomof assembly and demonstration [2Cii], autonomyof organizations [2Ciii], and freedomto establish organizations [2Civ]. The last twocomponents are each made up of an average ofthree variables—political parties; professionalorganizations; and educational, sporting, andcultural organizations—gauging the extent towhich those organizations can be establishedand are autonomous once they are set up.ExpressionExpression takes a wide array of forms.This category measures a broad range of freedomincluding that affecting personal expression,the press, and use of the Internet.Press killings [2Di] refers to murders ofjournalists “in retribution for, or to prevent,news coverage or commentary” and journalistskilled on dangerous assignments as documentedby the Committee to Protect Journalists.Laws and regulations that influence mediacontent [2Dii], is an assessment by FreedomHouse of the legal environment that governmentscan use to “restrict the media’s abilityto operate.” The next measure is a FreedomHouse assessment of the political environment’sinfluence on the media [2Diii], namely,political pressure over news and editorial content.It also evaluates “the vibrancy of the mediaand the diversity of news available withineach country,” and indicators of violenceagainst journalists. There is some overlap ofcoverage among the above components.Freedom of access to foreign information[2Div] is composed of two variables: access toforeign television and access to foreign newspapers.We believe that access to foreign mediasources can vastly increase the level of freedomin a country not only by providing individualswith much more information than locally avail-13“Access toforeign mediasources canvastly increasethe level offreedom in acountry.”

14“Somecountries thatranked highon theeconomicfreedomindex sawtheirpositions fallsignificantlyon the HumanFreedomIndex.”able, but by increasing media competition andstrengthening the role the media often playsas a watchdog and exponent of transparency ingovernment. The last component in this categorygauges state control over internet access[2Dv]; it is an increasingly important measureof freedom of expression as use of the Internetspreads and government efforts to control it becomemore sophisticated and frequent.RelationshipsLastly, we measure what we broadly categorizeas freedoms to have intimate and familialrelationships with others. Parental rights [2Ei]refers to the extent to which women haveequal rights based in law and custom regarding“legal guardianship of a child during a marriageand custody rights over a child after divorce.”Because this indicator does not assess the natureof those rights but rather the equality ofrights between genders, it is a proxy of one aspectof women’s freedom rather than a directmeasure of freedom.The last component rates the freedom ofindividuals to establish same-sex relationships[2Eii]. It is composed of two variablesfrom the International Lesbian and Gay Association:a male-to-male relationship indicatorthat gauges the extent to which sexual relationshipsbetween men are legal; and a femaleto-femaleindicator that gauges the same forrelationships between women.FINDINGSTable 2 presents the ratings of the countrieson the personal and economic freedomindices for 2012.

expected. The top jurisdictions in the HumanFreedom Index for 2012 are Hong Kong, Switzerland,Finland, and Denmark. The bottomthree countries are Myanmar, the DemocraticRepublic of Congo, and Iran in descending order.Other selected countries rank in the followingways: Canada (6); United Kingdom (9);Netherlands (14); Chile (18); United States (20);Japan (28); Singapore (43); South Africa (70); India(75); Brazil (82); Mexico (100); Russia (111);and China (132).The nonweighted average rating of the HumanFreedom Index decreased slightly from2008 to 2012 (it was 7.01 in 2008 and 6.96 in2012), though those ratings are not strictlycomparable since the index surveys elevenmore countries in 2012 than in 2008. Some 69countries increased their overall freedom ratingsfrom 2008 to 2012, while 68 countries decreasedtheir freedom.The correlation between the personal andeconomic freedom ratings was 0.55 for 2012(see Figure 1). 19 Thus some countries thatranked high on the economic freedom indexsaw their positions fall significantly on the HumanFreedom Index. For example, Singaporeranked in second place in economic freedom in2012, but ranked 43rd on the HFI; the UnitedArab Emirates ranked 6 in economic freedombut 117 in human freedom; and Qatar ranked 15in economic freedom but 114 in human freedom.By contrast, some countries ranked consistentlyhigh in the human freedom sub-indices,including two countries ranked in the top10 in both personal and economic freedom:Switzerland and Finland.Among the categories that make up thepersonal freedom index, “association, assembly,and civil society” and “relationship freedoms”saw the biggest increases in their ratingsfrom 2008 to 2012, while the “rule of law”and “movement” saw the largest decreases(see Figure 2). 20 Given that the time periodstudied here is relatively short, it is not sur-19“Belongingto thefreestcountries inthe worldgreatlyimprovesthe averageperson’sincome.”Figure 2Freedom Index Category Averages, 2008–201292008 20128765432Rule of LawSecurity & SafetyMovementReligionAssociation, Assembly& Civil SocietyExpression &InformationRelationships

20prising that we don’t see larger changes in thecategories.Regional levels of freedom vary widely. Theaverage rankings on the Human Freedom Indexby region were highest for Northern Europefollowed by North America (Canada andthe United States) and Western Europe, andwere lowest for the Middle East and NorthAfrica, sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia indescending order (see Figure 3). (For a listingof countries by region, see Appendix K.) Theregions that had greater overall levels of freedomexhibited higher ratings in personal freedomrelative to economic freedom than theless free (see Figure 4).The personal freedom index reports fivevariables that relate to women’s freedoms:female genital mutilation, missing women,equal inheritance rights, women’s freedom ofmovement, and parental rights. Although theysurely fall short of capturing a complete measureof women’s freedoms, the variables covera large range of important information and arelikely correlated with other women-specificindicators of liberty not represented in crosscountrydata. Here we have averaged the fivecomponents to get average ratings by region ofwomen’s personal freedom. Following that calculation,Figure 5 shows high levels of women’sfreedom in most regions of the world, with decliningfreedom in the Caucasus, South Eastand South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and theMiddle East and North Africa in that order.Does human freedom matter for development?There appears to be a strong relationshipbetween the level of freedom and income.Figure 6 shows that countries in the most freequartile enjoy significantly greater income perperson ($30,006) than those in the other quartiles.Belonging to the top 38 or so freest countriesin the world greatly improves the averageperson’s income. This data, of course, does notestablish a means of causation or even the directionof causation, and it is only a snapshotin time. But it suggests exploring the links betweenfreedom and development further andFigure 3Average Freedom Index Ranking by Region, 20120 20 40 60 80 100 120Northern EuropeNorth AmericaWestern EuropeCentral Europe & BalticsSouthern EuropeAustralia & OceaniaEast AsiaSouth Eastern EuropeCentral America, Mexico & the CaribbeanSouth AmericaCaucasusEastern EuropeSouth East AsiaCentral AsiaMiddle East & North AfricaSub-Saharan AfricaSouth Asia

We use our index and theEconomist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index2012 to see how political freedom and freedomrelate. The EIU defines democracy broadlyand thus constructs an index that produces a“wide” measure of democracy, as opposed to amore limited measure of the existence of freeand fair elections. The EIU’s Democracy Indexcovers five areas, of which we use the followingfour: electoral process and pluralism, functioningof government, political participation, andpolitical culture. That index also measures civilliberties, but we set those elements aside, sincethat area is included in our freedom index. SeeAppendix L for the resulting democracy ratingswe construct based on the EIU data.There is a strong correlation of 0.82 betweenfreedom and democracy (see Figure 7).The findings are not surprising, but they offerrich opportunities to empirically examinea complex relationship in which the directionof causation or support between the two variables,if any, may strengthen or weaken overtime and may be influenced by numerous otherfactors, including the level of development.Given the link between freedom and democracy,Hong Kong’s top ranking in ourindex may be somewhat unexpected. Theterritory, first administered by the UnitedKingdom as a colony and since 1997 ruled bymainland China under its “one country, twosystems” model, has never experienced democracy.Hong Kong’s maintenance of a highdegree of freedom for a long period of timeindeed makes it an outlier in our survey. Thepro-democracy protests that erupted in Hong

Even so, Hong Kong is uniquein that it long enjoyed high levels not only ofeconomic freedom but also of personal libertyand income without transitioning to democracy.The territory’s close adherence to thepolicies and institutions it inherited from theBritish, including the rule of law, no doubt explainthe stability its system has until recentlydisplayed. Clearly, the pro-democracy protestsrepresent a political agenda not acceptable toBeijing, and are a reaction to interference andperceived interference by mainland China inHong Kong’s policies and institutions includinginfringements on freedom of the press andthe independence of the legal system. Ourindex is based on data that goes no later than2012, so does not yet capture the most recentdevelopments, but it registers some deteriorationin those areas. As the political future ofHong Kong plays out, we would not be surprisedif we see a decline in its freedom ratings.CONCLUSION: TOWARD A BETTERAPPRECIATION OF FREEDOMThe Human Freedom Index provides acomprehensive measure of freedom for a largenumber of countries around the world. Devisingan index of this kind is a complex task,both conceptually and methodologically, asthe literature does not provide clear guidance,much less consensus, as to the relative importanceof the many different elements thatmake up freedom or as to proper ways of measuringthem. Reasonable people can disagreeas to the difficult but considered decisionswe’ve made in terms of the structure and relativeimportance of the measures we’ve chosen.We invite them to use the data presented here

24“The datamay lead to abetter understandingofthe role offreedom inhumanprogress.”to propose alternative weighting or structuralapproaches that seem more sensible to them.Because of the challenges in putting togethera broad measure of human freedom, this workin progress is certainly not the last word onthe extent of freedom in countries around theworld. But we do think this index is quite reasonableand hope it will be useful in exploringand demonstrating the value of individual libertyand the ways in which it correlates withother aspects of various societies.Even if this study confirms some of whatwe expected to observe, it is worth echoingMilton Friedman when he referred to the creationof the economic freedom index: “Whatwe have done is to acquire a set of data thatcan be used to explore just how the relationworks, and what are the essential connections,and that will enable skeptics to test their viewsobjectively.” 21Indeed, the Economic Freedom of the Worldindex has served just that purpose and more,producing an abundant literature on the linkbetween economic freedom and phenomenaas diverse as foreign aid, armed conflict, andhappiness. The Human Freedom Index has thepotential to do as much and looks increasinglyimportant at a time when the world’s leadingmarket democracies struggle with economicproblems and when hybrid forms of authoritarianismare being sold as viable alternativesto liberalism. Over time, this index could tracknot only specific gains and losses of freedom;it could also help to see what links may existbetween the assortment of freedoms andother variables. What are the relationshipsamong personal freedom, economic freedom,and democracy at different levels of development?Are some types of freedom, economicor personal, more conducive to the spreadand sustenance of other freedoms? What isthe relationship between various measuresof human well-being (including income) andchanges in personal freedom? Under whatconditions are increases or decreases in freedomlikely to come about? Delving into thoseand innumerable other questions that the datamay help us to answer will surely lead to a betterunderstanding of the role of freedom in humanprogress.APPENDIX A: AREAS, COMPONENTS, AND SUB-COMPONENTS OF THEECONOMIC FREEDOM OF THE WORLD INDEX1.

28Respondents’ Questionnaires. Up to their 2012 report, over 97,000 people and 2,500 expertsfrom around the world have participated in this project.Score: A continuous score from 0 to 1 where 0 means no adherence to the rule of law and 1means full adherence to the rule of law. We converted the WJP scores into a 0–10 scale.B. SECURITY & SAFETYi. Homicideby UN Office on Drugs and CrimeDescription: Intentional homicide is defined as unlawful death purposefully inflicted on aperson by another person.Score: Count and rate per 100,000 population. The number of homicides per country wasconverted into a 0–10 scale, where 25 was a cut-off (meaning that every country that documented25 or more homicides per 100,000 population that year received a rating of 0, while thecountries with 0 homicides per 100,000 population received a rating of 10; the countries with 1through 24 homicides per 100,000 population received corresponding values on a 0–10 scale).iia. Disappearanceby CIRI Human Rights Data ProjectDescription: Cases in which people have disappeared, political motivation appears likely,and the victims have not been found. Knowledge of the whereabouts of the disappeared is bydefinition not public knowledge. However, while there is typically no way of knowing wherevictims are, it is typically known by whom they were taken and under what circumstances.Source: The primary source of information about human rights practices is obtained froma careful reading of the annual United States Department of State’s Country Reports on HumanRights Practices. In addition, coders of this index also use a second source, Amnesty International’sAnnual Report. If there are discrepancies between the two sources, coders are instructed totreat the Amnesty International evaluation as authoritative.Score: 0 indicates that disappearances have occurred frequently in a given year; 1 indicatesthat disappearances occasionally occurred; and 2 indicates that disappearances did not occur ina given year. We converted the CIRI scores into a 0-10 scale.iib. Intensity of Violent Conflictsby Uppsala Conflict Data ProgramDescription: Battle-related deaths arise from armed conflict behavior between warring partiesin a conflict dyad, be it state-based or non-state-based. In state-based conflicts the violencemust be directly related to the incompatibility (of the positions of the conflicting parties regardinggovernment or territory), i.e., carried out with the purpose of realizing the goal of the incompatibilityand result in deaths. In non-state-based conflicts the violence does not have to be relatedto an incompatibility (since incompatibilities are not used in such conflicts), but has to take placebetween warring parties and result in deaths. Typically, battle-related deaths occur in what can bedescribed as “normal” warfare involving the armed forces of the warring parties. This includes traditionalbattlefield fighting, guerrilla activities (e.g., hit-and-run attacks or ambushes), and all kindsof bombardments of military units, cities and villages, etc. The targets are usually the military itselfand its installations, or state institutions and state representatives, but there is often substantial collateraldamage in the form of civilians killed in crossfire, indiscriminate bombings, etc. All deaths—military as well as civilian—incurred in such situations, are counted as battle-related deaths.

29Source: The general rule for counting battle-related deaths is moderation. All battle-relateddeaths are based on each coder’s analysis of the particular conflict. Each battle-related death hasto be verified in one way or another. All figures are disaggregated as much as possible. All figuresthat are not trustworthy are disregarded as much as possible in the coding process. Sometimesthere are situations when there is lack of information on disaggregated battle-related deaths.When this occurs, the coder may rely on sources that provide already calculated figures eitherfor particular incidents or for the total number of deaths in the conflict. The UCDP incorporatessuch death figures for particular incidents and for an entire armed conflict if they are coherentwith the definition. If they are not, or if there is no independent verification of the figure,it cannot be accepted.Score: Number of battle-related deaths per 1 million population. The number of battle-relateddeaths per country was converted into a 0–10 scale, where 30 was a cut-off (meaning thatevery country that documented 30 or more battle-related deaths per 1 million population thatyear received a rating of 0, while the countries with 0 battle-related deaths per 1 million populationreceived a rating of 10; the countries with scores in between these two values received correspondingvalues on a 0–10 scale).iic. Level of organized conflict (internal)by Economist Intelligence UnitDescription: Qualitative assessment of the intensity of conflicts within the country.Score: Ranked 1 to 5 (very low to very high) by EIU analysts. We converted the EIU scoresinto a 0–10 scale.iid. Terrorism Fatalitiesby University of MarylandDescription: The number of total confirmed fatalities for the incident. The number includesall victims and attackers who died as a direct result of the incident.Source: Global Terrorism Database (GTD) includes systematic data on domestic as well asinternational terrorist incidents that have occurred during this time period and now includesmore than 104,000 cases. Statistical information contained in the GTD is based on reportsfrom a variety of open media sources. Information is not added to the GTD unless and until theauthors have determined the sources are credible.Score: Number of fatalities per 1 million population. Where there is evidence of fatalities, buta figure is not reported or it is too vague to be of use, such as “many” or “some,” “‐99” (unknown)is the value given to this field. If information is missing regarding the number of victims killed inan attack, but perpetrator fatalities are known, this value will reflect only the number of perpetratorswho died as a result of the incident. Likewise, if information on the number of perpetratorskilled in an attack is missing, but victim fatalities are known, this field will only report the numberof victims killed in the incident. Where several independent sources report different numbersof casualties, the database will usually reflect the number given by the most recent source.However, the most recent source will not be used if the source itself is of questionable validityor if the source bases its casualty numbers on claims made by a perpetrator group. When thereare several “most recent” sources published around the same time, or there are concerns aboutthe validity of a recent source, the majority figure will be used. Where there is no majority figureamong independent sources, the database will record the lowest proffered fatality figure, unlessthat figure comes from a source of questionable validity or there is another compelling reason todo otherwise. When several cases are linked together, sources sometimes provide a cumulativefatality total for all of the events rather than fatality figures for each incident. In such cases, the

30preservation of statistical accuracy is achieved by evenly distributing fatalities across the linkedincidents. The number of terrorism fatalities per country was converted into a 0–10 scale, where30 was a cut-off (meaning that every country that documented 30 or more terrorism fatalities per1 million population that year received a rating of 0, while the countries with 0 terrorism fatalitiesper 1 million population received a rating of 10; the countries with scores in between these twovalues received corresponding values on a 0–10 scale).iie. Terrorism Injuredby University of MarylandDescription: The number of confirmed nonfatal injuries to both perpetrators and victims.Source: Global Terrorism Database (GTD) includes systematic data on domestic as well asinternational terrorist incidents that have occurred during this time period and now includesmore than 104,000 cases. Statistical information contained in the GTD is based on reportsfrom a variety of open media sources. Information is not added to the GTD unless and until theauthors have determined the sources are credible.Score: Number of injured. It follows the conventions of the “Terrorism Fatalities” field describedabove. The number of terrorism injured per country was converted into a 0–10 scale,where 50 was a cut-off (meaning that every country that documented 50 or more terrorism injuredper 1 million population that year received a rating of 0, while the countries with 0 terrorisminjured per 1 million population received a rating of 10; the countries with scores in betweenthese two values received corresponding values on a 0–10 scale).iii. Women’s Securityiiia. Female genital mutilationby OECDDescription: Measurement of the percentage of women in the country who have undergonefemale genital mutilation.Source: Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI) country notes cover 122 countries. Forthe remaining 31 countries we used other credible sources per country (typically two) that differedfrom country to country.Score: Prevalence of female genital mutilation (values are between 0 and 1), where 0 indicatesnone and 1 indicates all. We converted the OECD scores into a 0–10 scale.iiib. Missing Womenby OECDDescription: The coding of countries regarding gender bias in mortality or, euphemistically,“son preference.”Source: The coding in the Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI) country notes was donebased on the following information: 1) Existing precise estimates of gender bias in mortality fora sample of countries (e.g., Klasen and Wink, 2003) and 2) examination of the sex ratios of youngpeople and adults; if these sex ratios were abnormally high given the state of overall mortality (i.e.,differences could not be explained by biological and/or socioeconomic factors such as sex-biased internationalmigration), the score reflects the excess masculinity in these two age groups. Social Institutionsand Gender Index (SIGI) country notes cover 122 countries. For the remaining 31 countrieswe used other credible sources per country (typically two) that differed from country to country.Score: Scale 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1, where 0 indicates that no missing women problem canbe detected and 1 indicates a severe incidence of excess female mortality or missing women. We

31converted the OECD scores into a 0–10 scale.iiic. Inheritanceby OECDDescription: Measurement based on the legal code available and divided into two indicators:1) inheritance rights of spouses, and 2) inheritance rights of daughters. The final scoring ofthis indicator can also be driven by the actual application of the law (or the lack thereof).Source: Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI) country notes cover 122 countries. Forthe remaining 31 countries we used other credible sources per country (typically two) that differedfrom country to country.Score: Inheritance practices in favor of male heirs: 0, 0.5, and 1, where 0 indicates thatwomen have equal rights of inheritance, 0.5 indicates that (some) women have (some) rights ofinheritance, but less than men, and 1 indicates that women have no rights of inheritance.

Laws and regulations that influence media contentby Freedom HouseDescription: Survey of media independence. The index assesses the degree of print, broadcast,and Internet freedom in every country in the world, analyzing the events of each calendaryear.Source: Twenty-three methodology questions divided into three subcategories. The legal environmentcategory of “freedom of the press” encompasses an examination of both the laws andregulations that could influence media content and the government’s inclination to use theselaws and legal institutions to restrict the media’s ability to operate. We assess the positive impactof legal and constitutional guarantees for freedom of expression; the potentially negativeaspects of security legislation, the penal code, and other criminal statutes; penalties for libel anddefamation; the existence of and ability to use freedom of information legislation; the independenceof the judiciary and of official media regulatory bodies; registration requirements for bothmedia outlets and journalists; and the ability of journalists’ groups to operate freely.Checklist of Methodology Questions1. Does the constitution or do other basic laws contain provisions designed to protect freedomof the press and expression, and are they enforced? (0–6 points)2. Do the penal code, security laws, or any other laws restrict reporting, and are journalistspunished under these laws? (0–6 points)3. Are there penalties for libeling officials or the state, and are they enforced? (0–3 points)4. Is the judiciary independent, and do courts judge cases concerning the media impartially?(0–3 points)5. Is freedom of information legislation in place, and are journalists able to make use of it?(0–2 points)6. Can individuals or business entities legally establish and operate private media outletswithout undue interference? (0–4 points)7. Are media regulatory bodies, such as a broadcasting authority or national press or communicationscouncil, able to operate freely and independently? (0–2 points)8. Is there freedom to become a journalist and to practice journalism, and can professionalgroups freely support journalists’ rights and interests? (0–4 points)Score: Countries are given a total score from 0 (best) to 30 (worst). Assigning numericalpoints allows for comparative analysis among the countries surveyed and facilitates an examinationof trends over time. The degree to which each country permits the free flow of news andinformation determines the classification of its media as “Free,” “Partly Free,” or “Not Free.” Weconverted the Freedom House scores into a 0–10 scale.

Because that report measures datafrom 2011 and 2012, it excludes Syria, as the civilwar that began in 2011 has made data from thatcountry unreliable. For that reason, our index includesSyria prior to 2011, but not since then.13. Locke, 1691/1960, ch. VI, 241-2, para 57.14. Hayek, p. 154.15. Mark Agrast et al., WJP Rule of Law Index2012–2013 (Washington: The World Justice Project,2012) and WJP Rule of Law Index 2014 (Washington:The World Justice Project, 2014). Thissource provides data for 94 countries in our indexfor the year 2011 and for 95 countries for the year2012. To derive rule-of-law ratings for the remainingcountries in our index, we regressed the WJPrule of law measures we constructed with the ruleof law measures from the World Bank’s GovernanceIndicators (which produced a correlationcoefficient of 0.93 using the 2012 WJP reportand 0.95 using the 2014 WJP report). Note alsothat the ratings from the 2012–2013 WJP reportreflect data collected in late 2009, 2011 and early2012. That is the data we use in our index for 2010.Because previous WJP indexes are not comparableto the 2012 WJP report and cover fewer countries,we also use the same data in our 2008 indexfollowing a carry-over rule of not more than fiveyears in the case of missing data. For data for theyear 2012, we rely on the 2014 WJP report.16. For the exact survey questions the WJP usedto derive these measures see Appendix A in Juan

McMahon brings up the problem of “howrestrictions on freedom that are designed to enhancefreedom should be measured” in the brief,“Some Issues Concerning the Scope of a FreedomMeasure,” presented in a colloquium in Potsdam,Germany, June 2010, organized by the FriedrichNaumann Foundation.19. The correlation for 2008 was 0.66, for 2010 itwas 0.52, and for 2011 it was 0.56.20. This compares the freedom categories amongthe 140 countries for which we have data in bothyears of comparison.21.
