IEP is dedicated to shifting the world's focus to peace as a positive, achievable, and tangible measure of human well-being and progress. It achieves its goals by developing new conceptual frameworks to define peacefulness, providing metrics for measurement, uncovering the relationship between peace, business, and prosperity, and by promoting a better understanding of the cultural, economic, and political factors that drive peacefulness. IEP works in partnership with a number of think tanks, NGOs and academic institutions including the Aspen Institute,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.aspeninstitute.org/policy-work/business-society )〕 Economists for Peace and Security 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.economicsandpeace.org/UserFiles/File/DefiningPeaceIndustrieAndCalculatingAPeaceWGP.pdf )〕 the United Nations Global Compact, Center for Strategic and International Studies and Cranfield University.

The (Global Go To Think Tank Index ), produced by the University of Pennsylvania, listed the Institute for Economics and Peace as a Think Tank to Watch, one of the top 15 Think Tanks with a Budget under $5 Million, and as an institution with a leading collaboration.〔http://gotothinktank.com/dev1/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/GoToReport2013.pdf〕 In 2013, Steve Killelea’s founding of IEP was recognized as one of the 50 most impactful philanthropic gifts in Australia’s history by a coalition including the Myer Family Company, The Myer Foundation and Sidney Myer Fund, Pro Bono Australia, Swinburne University and Philanthropy Australia. ==Global Peace Index == The core asset of the IEP is the Global Peace Index (GPI), which is now considered the benchmark study in measuring peace.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.unglobalcompact.org/docs/news_events/upcoming/Mumbai_meetingJune08.pdf )〕 The GPI has been recognized by leading analysts and institutions, and has been incorporated into reports such as the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute's Year Book (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2014),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.sipri.org/yearbook/2009/02/02B )〕 and was analyzed by the World Bank's World Development Report 2011 team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://econ.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/EXTDEC/EXTRESEARCH/EXTWDRS/EXTWDR2011/0,,menuPK:6406091~pagePK:64167702~piPK:64167676~theSitePK:6406083,00.html )〕 The data for the Global Peace Index is collected and collated partly by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.eiu.com/site_info.asp?info_name=corporate_landing_united_nations&rf=0 )〕 the research and analysis arm of the Economist Group, and the methodology is informed and reviewed by an international panel of peace and statistics experts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Alliance for Peacebuilding ) 〕 The GPI is released annually with presentations in London, Washington, D.C. and at the United Nations headquarters in New York and Geneva.
