Fixing Failed States: A Framework for Rebuilding A Fractured World

---

This book argues for a reorientation in the international response to create capable states. The key to state building is first to agree on a goal and the functions of the state to support this objective and then to follow up with a pragmatic search for means of implementation. Therefore, the book proposes a strategic framework for defining the functions of the state, designing the organizational structure necessary for the performance of those functions, and aligning actors to the goal of state building. It presents ideas for reorganizing international security so that political and economic organizations can serve the purpose of creating and sustaining effective states. When applied to a specific context, our framework translates into a strategic map for understand ing the strengths and weaknesses of individual functions. On this basis specific strategies can then be devised that are tailored to context and deal with the issue of sequencing in a systematic way. Strategies would be cemented through "double compacts" between country leadership and the international community on the one hand and the citizer the other. Finally, the book proposes methods for comparative report ing on state capacity in the form of a "sovereignty index" that would be presented each year to the General Assembly of the United Nations and to the annual meetings of the World Bank.
