Скачать или смотреть IFAD Lecture: J. J. Messner - We need to talk about state fragility

Vulnerability and fragility can be sensitive topics – after all, no country wants to be known as a “fragile state”. But the reality is that every country experiences fragility, and in today’s
interconnected world and globalized economy, state fragility affects us all in different ways. So what does state fragility actually mean? And how is fragility measured? This lecture, delivered by J.J. Messner, Executive Director of the Fund for Peace, considers
how data can better inform our understanding of underlying causes and trends of fragility and how to craft effective policy responses to improve resilience against challenges from climate change to social conflict.
The Fund for Peace presents the annual Fragile States Index, an annual ranking of 178 countries that tracks performance on social, economic, and political indicators.
