The Fund For Peace (FFP) Fragile State Index.


I usually just make note of these types of "rankings", identify countries that are listed as being at the High Warning and above level and move on.

It does pay to observe the countries listed near the bottom of the list.  They're no brainers and probably going to require international intervention in the near future.  If I was an operations planner and had responsibility for those areas I'd be dusting off contingency plans just in case.  Never hurts to be prepared...

Check out the full listing and methodology for the rankings here.
