The Failed States Index
This is the report referenced by the Belmont Club, an index developed by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (yeah, them), the Fund for Peace (yeah, them too) and Foreign Policy magazine. Useful as a starting point for debate; one can argue the relative merits of each item in the index, but the overall composition makes some sense, at least to me.
The map can be viewed here. The rankings and the scoring can be viewed here. I don't agree with the status of some of the states, but again, it's a useful starting point. |
