10. SUSTAINABILITY

According to the Institute of Economy and Peace:

“Mexico ranked 62nd out of 163 countries in the Positive Peace Index (IPP) 2018, ranking 40% higher globally. However, being ranked 140 in the Global Peace Index (IPG), Mexico was one of the 25 least peaceful countries in the world in 2018. When comparing the high levels of Positive Peace with those of negative peace, it is appreciated that Mexico has the potential to reduce its level of violence if it overcomes some key challenges ”(2019, P. 69).

Graph 2, shows that Mexico exceeds the global average in five of the eight pillars that measure positive peace: solid business environment, high levels of human capital, good relations with neighbors, acceptance of the rights of others and equitable distribution of the resources.

Graph 2. Ratings of the pillars of Positive Peace, Mexico vs. global average and region

Source: taken from Paz Mexico Index (2019, P.71)

According to the previous graph, Mexico presents high levels of corruption, moderate functioning of the government and free flow of information. The weakest pillar of Mexico is corruption, which is strongly correlated with peace in all regions of the world.

“A high level of corruption is characteristic of countries with a low level of peace. This is of special importance to better understand the dynamics of violence in Mexico. According to the IEP, if there are imbalances between the qualifications of the pillars, the Positive Peace system is weakened. The rest of this section emphasizes that Mexico needs to strengthen its weaker pillars so that they are in line with its strong pillars. ”(IEP, 2019, P 69).

Graph 3, highlights the changes that Mexico has had in the eight pillars since 2005. The report indicates that it has improved in a solid business environment and high levels of human capital; however, in the same period there is a deterioration in the levels of corruption, the functioning of the government, the free flow of information and the equitable distribution of resources; which makes it difficult for them to improve their peace levels.

The report of the Institute of Economy and Peace (2019, P. 68), suggests how to improve peace in Mexico:

“• There is no magic or unique formula. Rather than relying on a single policy or intervention, the process of building and sustaining peace requires a great number of improvements throughout society, implemented simultaneously and for a considerable period. Successful cases to build peace are characterized by continuous actions and improvements in many areas and at the same time. The eight Pillars of Positive Peace constitute a framework that calls for action.

• Societies behave as self-regulating systems. Therefore, it is essential to understand and develop the rules and regulations, formal and informal, that determine the conduct and operation of such societies. Within systemic thinking, these regulations are called “coded standards.” These codified norms generate a social impulse, and once the system moves in a particular direction, the actions of the system reinforce this direction by means of the codified norms. This creates a cycle that perpetuates itself. If these cycles improve, they are virtuous circles; If they deteriorate, they are vicious circles. Apparently, Mexico is trapped in a vicious circle.
• Stopping or preventing violence is not an end in itself, as it has been shown that ending violence without building peace is an ephemeral effort. To sustain peace, it is not enough to simply address the factors that caused violence in the past. But it is essential that Mexico combine the effective application of the law in the short term with advances in Positive Peace in the long term.
• The highest priority should be to prevent violence. However, recovery requires widespread and long-term measures to build Positive Peace. By addressing the most vulnerable factors, it is possible to build resilience in the most cost-effective way: actively promoting Positive Peace. ”
