According to the source, political stability is defined as being a measure of the perception of the likelihood that the government of a country will be destabilized or overthrown by unconstitutional or violent means, including through terrorism and political violence. Data from various dimensions of governance were analyzed to come up with a political stability score for each country. The scores fell between -2.5 and +2.5, with higher scores corresponding to higher levels of stability.
The source uses the following classes of political stability in their estimates: Less than -1.25: extremely unstable; -1.25 to 0: unstable; 0 to +1.25: fair; greater than +1.25: stable.
