According to the Global Peace Index 2024, what is the role of Positive Peace in the context of violent conflict and economic instability?
It identifies structural factors that promote peace and can forecast declines in peacefulness
Positive Peace, as defined in the Global Peace Index 2024 by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP), refers to the attitudes, institutions and structures that create and sustain peaceful societies.
It is captured by the Positive Peace Index, built on eight Pillars (well-functioning government, sound business environment, equitable distribution of resources, acceptance of the rights of others, good relations with neighbours, free flow of information, high levels of human capital, low levels of corruption).
IEP uses the gap between a country's Positive Peace and its actual peace (measured by GPI) as a leading indicator: countries with a Positive Peace deficit tend to experience falls in peacefulness in the years that follow, while a Positive Peace surplus tends to forecast improvements. So Positive Peace identifies structural factors and can forecast future declines in peacefulness.
Hence the correct answer is option (3).
