Full article: Handle with care: Fragile states and the determinants of fragility
This article examines the drivers of state fragility. Findings indicate that democracy, income levels, economic growth, levels of education, country size and natural resource rents are important determinants of fragility. Unlike other studies, findings also suggest that being a Small Island Development State is a primary driver of fragility.
