This study explores the different approaches to service delivery in fragile states by surveying donors' own evaluations … of their existing fragile states policies. Because there is limited understanding of what works in risky environments …

policy. Broadly, our experiments confirm two conjectures. First, that the WTWs are “robust yet fragile” networks — robust to … random failures but fragile under targeted attack. Second, that growing connectance has both positive and negative impacts on …

to obtain two types of glass-forming liquids near the glass transition, fragile and strong liquids. The simulations are … proposed as D=d0x−1(1−x)2+ηexp[62x3+η(1−x)2+η] with η=4/3 for fragile liquids and 5/3 for strong liquids, where x is a reduced … coefficient obey the fragile master curve with η=4/3, while for Q>Qc they obey the strong master curve with η=5/3, where Qc≃20 …

Fragile states contributed 18 million migrants and 8 million refugees in 2000. More than 20% of these migrants and more … than half of the refugees settle in other fragile states. Thus, migration is likely to be both a consequence and a possible … cause of conflict and fragility. This paper asks why people from fragile states would want to move to another fragile state …
