Fragile states
Wednesday 7 January 2009
The agenda of fragility emerged during the 1990s, and grew rapidly in the new millennium as development and governance goals were increasingly aligned with peacemaking and global security concerns. The fragile states agenda is broad and somewhat ill defined; ‘fragile states’ has now become an accepted term in some circles whilst in others it is considered as inappropriate. This seminar looked at different angles of this growing area of interest and targeted funding.
