3 Theory Statistics Examples
4 Nonphysical juridical entity that is represented by one centralized government that has sovereignty over a geographic area permanent population defined territory one government and the capacity to enter into relations with other sovereign states
5 Failed states can no longer perform basic functions such as education, security, or governance, usually due to fractious violence or extreme poverty. according to Fund for Peace: Loss of control of its territory, or of the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force therein Erosion of legitimate authority Inability to provide public services Inability to interact with other states of the international community
6 WHY NATIONS DON T FAIL Geography Climate, Landscape, Trade Routes... (US Border towns, Koreas, East/W Germany) Culture Africans are lazy. Ignorance Inequality exists because rulers don t know. Prosperity depends on solving political problems.
7 How can we measure a nation? Economy Inequality Development GDP/GNP (per capita), PPP Gini index HDI, IHDI, Human/Multidimensional Poverty Index Social Progress Index Satisfaction with Life Index Fragile States Index (Also Rogue state, Axis of Evil, State Sponsors of Terrorism, Pariah state)
8 The Vicious Circle Extractive political institutions allow the creation of Monopoly of power, no checks and balances Extractive economic institutions Excludes many Empowers few
9 Extractive vs Inclusive Institutions But... Economic growth in authoritarian states Democracy Prosperity Maybe the other way around? (More $ -> More Democracy) Too much Government vs Not enough?
