The Institute's GPI is based on what it calls the “negative
peace scale” for each country, which measures ongoing local and international
conflicts, their role, and the duration of their involvement in these
conflicts.
Then it measures the level of harmony and discord within
each country based on data that assesses
personal safety, social security,
crime rates, terrorist activities,
violent protests, harmony in relations with
neighboring countries, political stability, and the percentage of internally
displaced or refugee populations in neighboring countries.
The Institute also relies on other indicators related to the
military situations of each country and their arms acquisition.
Data about military expenditures for each country as a percentage of GDP, the number of
military personnel, and the state's
financial contributions to United Nations peacekeeping missions are measured.
