State fragility is a much-debated yet underinvestigated concept in
the development and international security worlds. Based on years
of research as part of the Country Indicators for Foreign Policy
project at Carleton University, Exiting the Fragility Trap marks a
major step toward remedying the lack of research into the so-called
fragility trap. In examining the nature and dynamics of state
transitions in fragile contexts, with a special emphasis on states
that are trapped in fragility, David Carment and Yiagadeesen Samy
ask three questions: Why do some states remain stuck in a fragility
trap? What lessons can we learn from those states that have
successfully transitioned from fragility to stability and
resilience? And how can third-party interventions support fragile
state transitions toward resilience? Carment and Samy consider
fragility's evolution in three state types: countries that are
trapped, countries that move in and out of fragility, and countries
that have exited fragility. Large-sample empirical analysis and six
comparative case studies--Pakistan and Yemen (trapped countries),
Mali and Laos (in-and-out countries), and Bangladesh and Mozambique
(exited countries)--drive their investigation, which breaks ground
toward a new understanding of why some countries fail to see
sustained progress over time.
