How peace is measured in the GPI
The Global Peace Index evaluates countries based on their level of Negative Peace, or the absence of violence and fear of violence. It breaks peace into three core areas:
Ongoing Domestic & International Conflict
Assesses how involved a country is in internal and external conflicts—factoring in frequency, intensity, and duration.
Societal Safety & Security
Looks at internal stability, including crime rates, political unrest, and general social harmony.
Militarisation
Examines military spending, arms availability, and the overall impact of military presence on a country’s peace level.
