The Ten Functions of the State
|
ISE has proposed that states must perform ten critical functions in the modern world in order to serve their citizens and fulfil their international obligations (see Ghani, Lockhart, Carnahan, 'An agenda for State-building in the 21st century,'Fletcher Forum of World Affairs, Winter 2006, and 'Closing the Sovereignty Gap,' ODI Working Paper 253, September 2005). The institute has since worked to refine this framework, including through discussions with leaders of post-conflict transitions and in the book, 'Fixing Failed States: A Framework for Rebuilding a Fractured World,' (Oxford University Press, 2008).
