Abstract

It is widely recognized that fragile states are key symptoms of under-development in many parts of the world. Such states are incapable of delivering basic services to their citizens and political violence is commonplace.

This paper puts forward a framework for analyzing fragile states and applies it to a variety development policies in different types of states.
