Exploring the Fragile State: Analyzing the Total Fragile States Index

The Fragile States Index (FSI) assesses countries' vulnerability to instability and crises based on political, social, and economic indicators. This dataset ranks nations by their FSI scores, identifying fragile states and highlighting global disparities in stability and resilience.

Which countries have the highest Fragile States Index scores?

Somalia leads with an FSI score of 111.9, followed by Yemen (108.9) and South Sudan (109). These nations face severe challenges, including conflict, weak governance, and economic instability, contributing to their high fragility.

Top 10 countries with the highest FSI scores

The following countries are the most fragile according to the FSI:

1. Somalia – 111.9
2. South Sudan – 109
3. Yemen – 108.9
4. DR Congo – 107.2
5. Syria – 107.1
6. Afghanistan – 106.6
7. Sudan – 106.2
8. Central African Republic – 105.7
9. Chad – 104.6
10. Haiti – 102.9

These countries require urgent international attention and support to address their fragility and promote stability.

Which countries have the lowest Fragile States Index scores?

Countries such as Norway (14.5), Iceland (15.7), and Finland (16) have the lowest FSI scores, reflecting strong governance, political stability, and robust social systems.

What factors contribute to high Fragile States Index scores?

Key factors include ongoing conflict, political instability, economic crises, and social fragmentation. High FSI scores often indicate weak institutions, limited governance capacity, and vulnerability to external shocks.

How does fragility impact global security and development?

Fragile states are more prone to conflict, human rights violations, and economic instability, affecting global security and development. These conditions often lead to humanitarian crises, displacement, and regional instability.

What strategies can improve stability in fragile states?

Strategies include strengthening governance, promoting economic development, investing in social infrastructure, and fostering inclusive political processes. International cooperation and targeted interventions are critical for addressing fragility.

What global trends are evident in the Fragile States Index?

Fragility is most prevalent in conflict-affected regions of sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and parts of South Asia. In contrast, high-income nations in Europe and North America dominate the lower end of the index, highlighting global disparities in stability and governance.

How does the Fragile States Index relate to food security?

Fragile states often face heightened food insecurity due to disrupted supply chains, economic instability, and weak governance. Addressing fragility is essential for improving food access and building resilient food systems.
