What Does IEP Do? Policy Education Analysis Consulting E-publishing Promote and inform public debate with a view to impact public policy by providing an accessible and high quality forum for discussion through debates, seminars, lectures, dialogues and conferences. Education Present educators with solid empirical data to further study the impacts of peace on economies. Stimulate the study of the issues by others, and help draw the work of those in related fields. Analysis Lead research and rigorous theoretical and empirical analysis around the economies of peace and the Peace Industry. Collaborate with experts internationally. Consulting Develop strategic expertise in the area of peace economics, and conduct client sponsored research for commercial businesses, foundations and other organizations. E-publishing Publish research results and policy recommendations widely and freely, including annual release of the Global Peace Index.

The Global Peace Index

Motivation for focus on Peace Major challenge facing humanity is sustainability Challenges are global, urgent and require unparalleled co-operation Peace is the prerequisite for solving these problems

Why an Index? Never been done before Peace is poorly understood Peace should and can be measured Through measuring peace its texture can be analysed

Global Coverage Albania, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan Canada, United States of America Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, North Korea, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam Algeria, Angola, Bahrain, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo (Brazzaville), Cote d' Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Oman, Qatar, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Syria, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe

Defining Peace Peace is more than the absence of war. The perfect state would have no police, jails or crime Defined peace as the “Absence of Violence” This definition allows for measurements of both internal and external peacefulness “Positive Peace” is uncovered via statistical analysis with other data sets, indexes and attitudinal surveys

23 Indicators 5 measures of ongoing conflict such as: number of conflicts fought 2003-2008 and number of deaths from organised conflict 10 measures of societal safety and security including: number of displaced people, potential for terrorist acts, number of homicides, number of jailed population 8 measures of militarisation such as: military expenditure, number of armed service personnel, ease of access to small weapons Visits to www.visionofhumanity.org doubled since last year Weighted on a 1-5 scale Overall score weighted 60% for internal peace and 40% for external peace

23 Indicators Uses both quantitative and qualitative indicators Sourced from highly respected organisations Estimated by EIU analysts where data is missing Weighted on a 1-5 scale Overall score weighted 60% for internal peace and 40% for external peace

23 Indicators weight indicator 4 Perceptions of criminality in society Number of internal security officers and police 100,000 people Number of homicides per 100,000 people Number of jailed population per 100,000 people Ease of access to weapons of minor destruction 5 Level of organized conflict (internal) Likelihood of violent demonstrations Level of violent crime Political instability Respect for human rights 2 Volume of transfers of major conventional weapons, as recipient (Imports) per 100,000 people

23 Indicators weight indicator 1 Potential for terrorist acts 5 Number of deaths from organized conflict (internal) 2 Military expenditure as a percentage of GDP Number of armed services personnel per 100,000 people Financial support to UN Peacekeeping missions 3 Aggregate number of heavy weapons per 100,000 people Volume of transfers of major conventional weapons as supplier (exports) per 100,000 people Military capability/sophistication 4 Number of displaced people as a percentage of the population Relations with neighboring countries Number of external and internal conflicts fought Estimated number of deaths from organized conflict (external)

Global Support The Index has been endorsed by hundreds of individuals and organizations, including Nobel Laureates, government officials, renowned academics and business leaders. They include: HH Dalai Lama; Kofi Annan; Archbishop Desmond Tutu; President Martti Ahtisaari; Betty Williams; Muhammad Yunus; Amnesty International; President Jimmy Carter; Professor Joseph Stiglitz; Sir Mark Moody-Stuart; Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan; His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal of Jordan; Sir Richard Branson and Ted Turner

GPI Methodology

Defining Peace NEGATIVE PEACE POSITIVE PEACE CULTURE OF PEACE The UN has defined a culture of peace as one involving values, attitudes and behaviours that: reject violence, prevent conflicts by addressing root causes solve problems through dialogue and negotiation Absence of war or conflict If the country is not involved in violent conflicts with neighbouring states or suffering internal wars it has achieved a state of peace A more complete evaluation of peace should account for the conditions which are favourable to its emergence Freedom, human rights and justice are included

and measuring it Two objectives Measures Outcome scoring model index ranking 149 nations across 23 indicators Rank the nations of the world by their relative states of peace and facilitate cross-country comparisons Outcome Methodologically sound and unbiased measurement of peace. Provides the raw material for a worldwide debate on peace Quantify and measure the importance and possible causality of a range of potential drivers that may create peaceful societies correlate and statistically analyze data sets, attitudinal surveys and indexes to identify potential determinants of peace

Methodology Improved year on year Comparative data available for 2007 to 2010 2010 improvements: Heavy Weapons Sought expert opinion from SIPRI – now sourced form Military Balance (IISS) and the UN Register of Conventional Arms Categories weighed by destructive capability Displaced Persons Previously only refugees counted IDP’s data sourced form Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre

A Less Peaceful World? Majority of the 23 indicators that constitute the index have risen, indicating an overall decline in the level of peace The most marked increases in the sum of scores have been in: The number of homicides per 100,000 people The likelihood of violent demonstrations The potential for terrorist attacks Most of the overall increases in these three indicators were confined to relatively few countries Political instability has also increased slightly across the world. This proved to be the most influenced indicator – changes were registered in just over 60% of the countries The most marked decreases in aggregate scores have been in: The measure of the respect for human rights – slight improvement overall Estimated number of deaths from organized conflict (external)

Business and Peace

GPI Correlations with Per Capita Income For every 10 places a country rises on the GPI: Per capita income increases by US$3,100 Consumer spending on food and non-alcoholic beverages increases by US$132 Consumer spending on leisure and recreation increased US$144 Consumer spending on household goods and services increases by US$87 Consumer spending on housing increases by US$309 Consumer spending on footwear and clothing increases by US$87 Consumer spending on communications increases by US$42

Economic Impacts of Peace If it could be demonstrated that peaceful environments had a better propensity for stability, could long term debt be more aggressively priced? If there was a relationship between peacefulness and growth, would more capital inflows result? If there was a relationship between peace and growth, would new investment funds be created that invested in areas of the world that had the fastest improving prospects of peace?

Economic Impacts of Peace Lower risk Lower interest rates Lower discount rates on future earnings for investments Projects pay off over long periods Larger portfolio of investment containing more stable investments Long term planning increased government spending on infrastructure such as roads, schools, universities

Business and Peace Reductions in violence positively impact most businesses Market potential increases with rising living standards Costs reduce Management is more focused on strategic issues rather than risk mitigation There are many measures of violence – different types of violence have different impacts on different products and markets UN Global Compact Survey 80% of senior executives believe that the size of their markets increase with peace 79% of senior executives believe that their costs reduce with increasing peace

Monetary Value of Peace

Valuing Peace – How to value peace to the global economy Cost based on known literature and conservatively estimated Little literature that estimates many forms of violence Some literature estimates terrorism at 10% of GDP in 2002 IADB estimates 1.6% to 5% of GDP costs from violence in various Latin American countries WHO estimates inter-personal violence in US at 3.3% of GDP UNDP estimates African civil wars at 2.2% to 3.3% of GDP per year per conflict Static Peace – Value shifting from violent industries to Peaceful Industries Dynamic Peace – Additional value from suppressed or inefficient economic activity

Correlations with Global Peace Index Social Attributes of Peaceful Nations Aspects of Nationalism Less likely to see their culture as superior Believe that their nation’s morality is average in foreign policy Active Civil Society More likely to perceive their media as having a lot of freedom Less likely to believe that their government can limit expression of ideas More likely to support leaders who take a compromising approach More likely to believe that women and men make equally good leaders Respect for Human Rights More likely to reject the use of torture More likely to respect human rights

Correlations with Global Peace Index Social Attributes of Peaceful Nations Aspects of Globalization More likely to believe anyone can work in their county Less likely to believe that globalization is growing too quickly What Citizens Think of Other Nations Peaceful nations are perceived most positively by the citizens of other nations – Highest correlation of all attitudes Support for the Use of the Military Reject the use of torture Support military action when sanctioned by the UN More likely to disagree with the need to US military force to maintain order

Correlations with Global Peace Index Social Attributes of Peaceful Nations Moral and Religious Aspects Think that their politicians do not need to believe in God Believe that good and evil are contingent and not absolute More likely to believe that it is not necessary to believe in God to be moral Less likely to believe that globalization is growing too quickly Economic Attitudes More likely to believe that anyone can work in their country Less likely to believe that globalisation is growing too quickly The strongest correlation was that nations that were perceived positively by other nations were the most peaceful r = 0.88

Characteristics of Peace

Resilience of Peace Why do Peaceful nations perform well? Tolerant and open societies are more likely to learn and adapt Violence needs reactive responses, peace allows for more forethought The future is more predictable in peace, allowing for better planning Peaceful societies are less likely to create alienation More likely to co-operate and support in times of crisis Freedom of information allows a better flow of information through society Broad education base creates a larger pool of human capital

Structural Aspects of Peace Free flow of information Sound Business Environment Well-functioning Government Equitable Distribution of Resources Low levels of corruption Peace and Resilience Acceptance of the rights of others High levels of education Good relations with neighbors

Several Traditional Business Tools Might be Considered in Light of a Region’s Peacefulness to Provide Insight Industry lifecycle Profit Time Initial invest takes time to reach break even. This is based on the cost of the investment, the amount of time to become profitable and the size of the profits The level of violence will affect the cost of investment, the length of time to deploy and the ROI

Several Traditional Business Tools Might be Considered in Light of a Region’s Peacefulness to Provide Insight Competitor profitability Return Peace Through analyzing the return that competitors are getting by the peacefulness of their markets and the momentum of peacefulness within those markets new competitive strategies can be developed

Several Traditional Business Tools Might be Considered in Light of a Region’s Peacefulness to Provide Insight Business segmentation Price sales & service product What is the relation between price for the same business segment in different markets when rated by peacefulness

User Value Based Advantage Can be Considered in Light of a Region’s Peacefulness, Using Several Typical Tools Customer segmentation Customer buying process Need Search Buy Validate Young Socials Busy Parents Domestics Active Teens The Gatekeepers Mature Uninvolved Many consumers view peace as highly desirable – how can they be viewed as a consumer segment, what are their emotional needs and how can products be created to fulfill their needs

Discontinuous Forces of Change – Including Peace Can Be Examined Using Several Tools Deconstruction audit A business, product or market is affected by many factors outside a company’s control such as government policies, corruption, rule of law. Peace is a proxy for order, peaceful markets will be more transparent therefore easier to deconstruct and easier to understand
