Dustjacket. 256 pp.(Unu-Wider Studies in Development Economics). - 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.

Overcoming state fragility is a crucial international development objective in the 21st century, as many fragile states have devolved into failed states, leaving millions in deprivation. These states often lack the authority, legitimacy, and capacity necessary for advancing development, posing significant challenges for policy design and implementation. Key questions arise regarding the effective delivery of aid in contexts where governments cannot absorb or utilize it. Additionally, fragile states can adversely affect their neighbors and the global community, leading to increased insecurity, out-migration, displaced populations, and environmental degradation. This work explores the extensive global repercussions of state fragility, contributing to the discourse on its causes, costs, and necessary responses. It targets scholars, policymakers, and donors focused on conflict and development, aiming to enhance understanding of how to foster strong, accountable states. Such states can promote human well-being, bolster household resilience against shocks, and create effective partnerships to maximize development assistance benefits.
