Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Global Peace Index 2012

same comment as before. is it peace when a population has been "pacified"? was africa more peaceful under the colonial regime because the internal conflicts became masked under the general conquest and occupation? is it peace if it is "peace under"?

The Global Peace Index ranks the nations of the world by their peacefulness and identifies some of the drivers of peace.

The 2012 GPI found that the world has become slightly more peaceful over the last year, bucking a two year trend. All regions apart from the Middle East and North Africa improved on levels of peacefulness. The sixth edition of the GPI was launched with a new interactive map that allows you to explore peace.
