The GPI is composed of 24 indicators, ranging from a nation’s level of military expenditure to its relations with neighbouring countries and the level of respect for human rights. The index has been tested against a range of potential “drivers” or determinants of peace—including levels of democracy and transparency, education and material wellbeing. The study is based on the latest available figures (mainly 2004-06) from a wide range of respected sources, including the International Institute of Strategic Studies, The World Bank, various UN offices and Peace Institutes and the Economist Intelligence Unit.

The team produced the results of the analysis into each of the 121 nation's peace in a table, the Global Peace Index section, in which countries are ranked from most peaceful to least peaceful, highlighting their ranking as well as their score. www.visionofhumanity.com/rankings/.
