Abstract

This yearbook marks the fourteenth year of theComparative Survey of Freedomand is the ninth edition in the Freedom House series of annual publications. In addition to the ratings and tables produced by theSurvey, the discussion of criteria and definitions at the beginning of the 1986-87 yearbook again includes the checklist of political rights and civil liberties. Discussion of communication policies of the United States and the Soviet Union forms a special theme in this year's summary of the international struggle for free and informative news media.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
