Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism: Percentile Rank

This indicator gauges the perception of a nation's political climate regarding stability and the prevalence of violence or terrorism driven by political motives. By assigning a percentile rank, it contextualizes a country's performance relative to its peers, where a score of 0 indicates the highest degree of instability and violence, while a score of 100 signifies excellent stability and low likelihood of conflict. Moreover, this ranking is dynamically adjusted to reflect shifts in the global landscape and changes in the countries included in the World Governance Indicators, offering a more nuanced view of progress or regression over time. Understanding these rankings can illuminate potential risks for investment, governance challenges, and socio-economic conditions in various countries, aiding policymakers and stakeholders in making informed decisions.
