In order to establish this ranking, where Mauritius ranks first, 23 qualitative and quantitative indicators, evaluating primarily three areas were considered. It is the degree of militarization of States, the security level of a company and the extent of internal or international conflicts.

The world ranking is dominated by Iceland, Denmark and Austria. The study highlights that there is an evolution “slightly less peaceful”, that is -0.53% in 2016 compared with 2015. Note that 163 countries are involved in the study of the Institute for the economy and the peace.
