In this edition of Wilson Center NOW, we are joined by Michael Collins, Executive Director, The Americas, Institute for Economics & Peace. He discusses the newly released 17th edition of the annual Global Peace Index (GPI), produced by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP).  The index is the world’s leading measure of peacefulness, and “reveals the average level of global peacefulness deteriorated for the ninth consecutive year with post-COVID civil unrest and political instability remaining high while regional and global conflicts accelerate.”
