The drivers of peaceful transition are not constant across the peace development spectrum.

For countries at low levels of Positive Peace, economic and external-facing Pillars such as Sound Business Environment and Good Relations with Neighbours tend to play a more prominent role in shaping feasible outcomes.

In the mid-range of Positive Peace, institutional and social Pillars, particularly Well-Functioning Government, Acceptance of the Rights of Others, and Low Levels of Corruption, emerge as the most constraining.

At higher levels of Positive Peace, the relative importance of the Pillars begins to converge, reflecting the fact that highly peaceful countries tend to perform strongly across all eight Pillars.

The United States recorded the second largest deterioration in Positive Peace score of any nation since 2015. At 28, the US still ranks relatively high on the PPI and an imminent loss of internal peace is unlikely. But the trend, driven by sharp declines in rule of law, press freedom and social cohesion alongside rising corruption and factionalised elites, is alarming.

The structural foundations of peace, infrastructure, health, economic opportunity, are improving fast. But Institutions and Attitudes required to maintain peace are deteriorating: weaker rule of law and government accountability, and deepening divisions between elites and communities.

The Well-Functioning Government Pillar, which assesses the effectiveness, transparency, and integrity of public institutions, recorded the largest decline.

The decline reflects a broader retreat from open government practices over the past decade, including greater restrictions on politically sensitive information, alongside reductions in related civil liberties and political and legal rights.

The trend is particularly notable among countries that have historically been leaders in transparency.
