Global Peace Index (GPI) measures the relative position of nations' and regions' peacefulness. The GPI ranks independent states and territories according to their levels of peacefulness.
In assessing peacefulness, the GPI investigates the extent to which countries are involved in ongoing domestic and international conflicts. It also seeks to evaluate the level of harmony or discord within a nation; ten indicators broadly assess what might be described as a safety and security in society. The assertion is that low crime rates, minimal incidences of terrorist acts and violent demonstrations, harmonious relations with neighboring countries, a stable political scene and a small proportion of the population being internally displaced or refugees can be suggestive of peacefulness.
The smaller the value of the index, the greater the peacefulness of the state. Conversely, the larger the index, the less peaceful the state is.
