Fixing Failed States: A Framework for Rebuilding a Fractured WorldToday between forty and sixty nations, home to more than one billion people, have either collapsed or are teetering on the brink of failure. The world's worst problems terrorism, drugs and human trafficking, absolute poverty, ethnic conflict, disease, genocide originate in such states, and the international community has devoted billions of dollars to solving the problem. Yet by and large the effort has not succeeded. Ashraf Ghani and Clare Lockhart
Today between forty and sixty nations, home to more than one billion people, have either collapsed or are teetering on the brink of failure. The world's worst problems--terrorism, drugs and human trafficking, absolute poverty, ethnic conflict, disease, genocide--originate in such states, and the international community has devoted billions of dollars to solving the problem. Yet by and large the effort has not succeeded. Ashraf Ghani and Clare Lockhart have taken an active part in the effort to save failed states for many years, serving as World Bank officials, as advisers to the UN, and as high-level participants in the new government of Afghanistan. In Fixing Failed States, they describe the issue--vividly and convincingly--offering an on-the-ground picture of why past efforts have not worked and advancing a groundbreaking new solution to this most pressing of global crises. For the paperback edition, they have added a new preface that addresses the continuing crisis in light of ongoing governance problems in weak states like Afghanistan and the global financial recession. As they explain, many of these countries already have the resources they need, if only we knew how to connect them to global knowledge and put them to work in the right way. Their state-building strategy, which assigns responsibility equally among the international community, national leaders, and citizens, maps out a clear path to political and economic stability. The authors provide a practical framework for achieving these ends, supporting their case with first-hand examples of struggling territories such as Afghanistan, Sudan, Kosovo and Nepal as well as the world's success stories--Singapore, Ireland, and even the American South.Binding Type: Paperback

Beautiful book for kids sadly really bad packaging and shipment
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
SUPER PRETTY BOOK!!!! 🥹🤎🤎🤎🤎
EXCEPT packaging and shipment considering it's an international shipment.
Living it here because CS team restricted my account saying I kept asking for refund or replacement. What do they want me to do? Don't believe their "we trust you" if they have told you "you DONOT need to share proof", thats a lie.

Really simple stories, really small book, but good
Format: Board book
I thought these books were gonna be a little bigger but they are pretty small. But it ends up being a nice easy carry for the child. The stories are super summarized versions of the stories if they can,skipping a whole lot, or just like this princess knows or likes or does this and this is why they are insert adjective of story here. They have great pictures for the Littles to look at and super easy pages for them to turn.
