delivers high-quality public
and civil services, engenders trust and participation,
demonstrates political stability and upholds the rule of law.
well functioning government
The strength of economic conditions as well as the formal
institutions that support the operation of the private sector.
Business competitiveness and economic productivity are
both associated with the most peaceful countries.
SOUND BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Peaceful countries often have formal laws that guarantee
basic human rights and freedoms, and the informal social
and cultural norms that relate to behaviours of citizens.
ACCEPTANCE OF THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS
Peaceful relations with other countries are as important as
good relations between groups within a country. Countries
with positive external relations are more peaceful and tend
to be more politically stable, have better functioning
governments, are regionally integrated and have lower
levels of organised internal conflict.
GOOD RELATIONS WITH NEIGHBOURS
Free and independent media disseminates information in a
way that leads to greater knowledge and helps individuals,
businesses and civil society make better decisions.
FREE FLOW OF INFORMATION
A skilled human capital base reflects the extent to which
societies educate citizens and promote the development of
knowledge, thereby improving economic productivity, care
for the young, political participation and social capital.
HIGH LEVELS OF HUMAN CAPITAL
In societies with high levels of corruption, resources are
inefficiently allocated, often leading to a lack of funding for
essential services and civil unrest.
LOW LEVELS OF CORRUPTION
Peaceful countries tend to ensure equity in access to
resources such as education, health, and to a lesser extent,
equity in income distribution.
EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES
is defined as the attitudes, institutions and structures that create and sustain peaceful societies.
The most peaceful countries in the world perform strongly on all eight Pillars of Positive Peace.
blank countries are more likely to maintain stability, adapt and recover from shocks.
