This book focuses on the indicators of fragility and the resilience
of state-led interventions to address them in sub-Saharan Africa.
It analyzes the 'figure' of fragile states as the unit the analysis
and situates the study of fragility, governance and political
adaptation within contemporary global and local political, economic
and socio-cultural contexts. The chapters offer an indispensable,
econometrically informed guide to better understanding issues that
have an impact on fragility in governance and nation-building and
affect policy-making and program design targeting institutions in
various circumstances. These issues, as they relate to the
indicators of fragility, are the contexts and correlates of armed
conflicts on statehood and state fragility, the poverty-trap,
pandemics and household food insecurity, and child labor. Case
studies from across 46 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries are
assessed to offer clear, broad and multidisciplinary views of what
the future holds for them and the international donor communities
at large. Regarding state-led interventions, the authors utilize
insightful statistical methods and epistemologies to explain the
correlates of behavioral language frames and conflict de-escalation
on battle-related deaths across the conflict zones within the
sub-region, the regional and country-level interventions to end
child labor, the institutional frameworks and interventions in the
advancement of food security and health. This book will be of
interest to scholars of economics, development, politics in
developing countries, Area and African Studies, peace, conflict and
security studies.
