Fixing Failed States

Book • 2008
In 'Fixing Failed States: A Framework for Rebuilding a Fractured World', Ashraf Ghani and Clare Lockhart address the global issue of failed states, which are home to over a billion people and are sources of major global problems like terrorism and poverty.

The authors propose a novel approach to state-building, emphasizing the need for collaboration among the international community, national leaders, and citizens to achieve political and economic stability.

They draw on their experiences in countries such as Afghanistan and Nepal to illustrate their strategies.
