Institute for Economics and Peace

The Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) is a think tank focused on fostering an understanding of peace and its economic impact. It conducts research to analyze the social, political, and economic factors that contribute to peace and conflict. IEP is known for creating the Global Peace Index, which measures the peacefulness of countries based on indicators like levels of violence and political stability. By promoting the value of peace and its benefits for societies, IEP aims to encourage governments and organizations to prioritize peace-building efforts and invest in strategies for sustainable development and security.
