Overview
Global Peace Index Rankings
Canada is no 11.
The ground-breaking Global Peace Index (GPI) has been expanded and updated with the latest available figures for 2008, a year on from the completion of the first
GPI, which ranked 121 nations according to their relative states of peace.
The index is composed of 24 qualitative and quantitative indicators from highly respected sources, which combine internal and external factors ranging from a nation's level
of military expenditure to its relations with neighbouring countries and the level of respect for human rights. These indicators were selected by an international panel of
academics, business people, philanthropists and peace institutions. The GPI is collated and calculated by the Economist Intelligence Unit.
