What is a failed state? Name three indicators used by the Fund for Peace and Foreign Policy to evaluate failed states and give three examples of failed states.
What will be an ideal response?
Students should first define failed state (a nation-state whose government can no longer provide political, economic, and social stability). Students should then name three indicators, which may include demographic pressures, refugees and IDPs, group grievance, human flight, uneven development, poverty and economic decline of the state, legitimacy of the state services, public services, human rights apparatus, security apparatus, factionalized elites, and external intervention. Finally, students should identify three failed states, which may include Somalia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, South Sudan, Chad, Yemen, Afghanistan, Haiti, Central African Republic, and Zimbabwe.
