More strife in the world - also in ours

The conflicts are increasing, also in our world: In Turkey tourists are imprisoned because they are suspected to have spoken in the social media against President Erdo? An. Terrorist attacks have occurred in several Western European countries - and nationalist currents are fueling popular discontent.

The Institute for Economics and Peace? based in Sydney has now published the "Global Peace Index 2018". The annual ranking makes statements on the security situation in 163 countries of the world. The study concluded that the world has become 0.27 percent less peaceful than it was a year ago.

For the ranking, the institute assessed the individual countries according to factors such as: internal and international conflicts, terrorist threat, violent crime, access to weapons or relations with neighboring states. Unsurprisingly, Europe is considered the safest region on earth.
