Overcoming state fragility is one of the most important
international development objectives of the 21st century. Many
fragile states have turned into failed states, where millions of
people are caught in deprivation and seemingly hopeless conditions.
Fragile states lack the authority, legitimacy, and capacity that a
modern state needs to advance the development of its peoples, and
present deep challenges for the design and implementation of
development policy. For instance, how is aid to be designed and
delivered in a way that will help people in fragile states if their
governments lack capacity to absorb and use aid? And what can be
done about adverse side-effects of fragile states on their
neighbours and the global community, such as heightened insecurity,
rising out-migration, displaced populations, and the destruction of
natural resources? This book documents the far reaching global
repercussions of state fragility and provides a timely contribution
to the international discourse on three dimensions of fragile
states: their causes, costs, and the responses required. It will
appeal to scholars, policymakers, and donors who are concerned
about conflict and development. Its aim is to contribute to our
understanding of how strong and accountable states can be
fostered-states where government and civil society progressively
advance human wellbeing, underpin households' resilience in the
face of shocks, and form effective partnerships to maximize the
benefits of development assistance.
