Positive peace defined by a more lasting peace that is built on sustainable investments in
economic development and institutions as well as societal attitudes that foster peace. It can be used to
gauge the resilience of a society, or its ability to absorb shocks without falling or relapsing into
conflict. Positive Peace opposes what is known as the 'structures and cultures of violence'. These
structures and cultures can cause people to behave violently, or impose violence on others.
