Thailand is now higher in the Global Peace Index, but the country is still in the middle of the pack in the most recent Global Peace Index ( GPI ) edition.
The 2024 GPI , showed Thailand was the 75th most tranquil country, a wave of 11 holes from last year, according to the just released report.
The Institute for Economics & Peace’s ( IFEPP ) survey surveyed 163 nations and territories, which make up 99.7 % of the world’s population.
Thailand ranked in the top two spots in the institute’s social safety and security and continued domestic and international problems based on three factors. However, the nation placed in the top 20 for militarisation, citing military preparation, systems, and military might.
Thailand was only one of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations individuals above the Philippines and Myanmar. Singapore was the most tranquil country in the region, followed by Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos and Cambodia. Brunei was the only Asean part who did not participate in the survey.
Singapore ranked second worldwide, while neighbouring Malaysia was in the 10th place, according to the study.
Iceland and Yemen were the least risky nations in the world, while the Middle East and North Africa were the most risky regions. ” It is home to four of the ten least tranquil countries in the world, including the two least quiet, Sudan and Yemen”, the statement said.
The report warned that the world was being threatened by more issues than it had been since the GPI’s founding in 2008, with 92 nations having engaged in more than one issue outside of their edges. The fall of middle level powers, which are becoming more active in their respective areas, is credited with contributing to the internationalization of conflict.
