Al-Hamza Consulting & Online Marketing : November 2013

The Global Peace Index (GPI) is an attempt to measure the relative position of nations' and regions' peacefulness. It is the product of Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) and developed in consultation with an international panel of peace experts from peace institutes and think tanks with data collected and collated by the Economist Intelligence Unit. The list was launched first in May 2007, then continued yearly.

See this year's rankings and scores below. There's a link below to data for each of the previous years so you can explore changes for each country.
