Index of state weakness in the developing world by Susan E Rice ( Book )
3 editions published in 2008 in English and held by 9 libraries worldwide
"This paper presents the Index of State Weakness in the Developing World ... which ranks all 141 developing countries according to their relative performance in four critical spheres: economic, political, security, and social welfare. We define weak states as countries that lack the essential capacity and/or will to fulfill four sets of critical government responsibilities: fostering an environment conducive to sustainable and equitable economic growth; establishing and maintaining legitimate, transparent, and accountable political institutions; securing their populations from violent conflict and controlling their territory; and meeting the basic human needs of their population. We measure state weakness according to each state's effectiveness in delivering on these four critical dimensions." --p. 3 of source document.

Poverty and civil war what policymakers need to know by Susan E Rice ( Book )
2 editions published in 2006 in English and held by 5 libraries worldwide
"For years, a debate has raged in academic circles over the principal causes of civil conflict. Is it ethnicity, grievance, rebel greed, topography or venal leadership? Today, an important element of this debate has been resolved: recent academic research on the causes of conflict demonstrates compellingly that countries with low income per capita are at increased risk of civil conflict. Recent statistical research on poverty and conflict suggests that for a country at the fiftieth percentile for income (like Iran today), the risk of experiencing civil conflict within five years is 7-11 percent; for countries at the tenth percentile (like Ghana or Uganda today), the risk rises to 15-18 percent"--P. 5.
