Discussing Trends of Violence in Mexico

The Mexico Peace Index (MPI), produced by IEP, provides a comprehensive annual measure of peacefulness in Mexico, aggregating and verifying available data. This year marks the MPI’s fourth edition, which analyzes trends in violence from the height of the drug war in 2011 through 2016, and calculates the economic cost of violence. The report aims to identify the key trends and drivers of peace, while highlighting policy opportunities.

The presentation of the report will be held at:
