US And Russia Ranked Among Least Peaceful Nations, by (Financial Times)…James Blitz
An annual study ranking nations in terms of how peaceful they are has given poor marks to the US and Russia, placing them firmly in the bottom half of a list of 140 states.
The Global Peace Index is drawn up by the Institute for Economics and Peace, an independent think-tank, together with the UK-based Economist Intelligence Unit. It tests each nation against 24 “peacefulness” criteria, including a nation’s relations with its neighbours, arms sales and foreign troop deployments.
I’m somewhat of a collector of indices .. aim is to find one or more that will provide indicators of progress over time.
