Recognizing this need, however, is much easier than understanding the measures necessary to succeed. Both U.S. decisionmakers and a variety of analysts have generally agreed that broad-based, inclusive governance and institutionalized capacity-building consistent with the rule of law are the long-term goals for stabilizing fragile states. The conditions under which these goals are realistic and how to realize them are much more contentious. This report describes research intended to advance at least partial answers to these questions, including a framework to help better understand when we expect U.S. leverage to be successful in nudging partners toward better governance practices. While there is no panacea for the difficulties of stabilizing countries after conflicts, this research offers guidance on how the United States might improve the odds of securing such hard-won gains and evidence to suggest that-at least under the right circumstances-it can do so. 530 $a Also available on the internet via WWW in PDF format. 580 $a See also RAND/RR-A250-2. 651 0 $a United States $x Military relations $z Iraq. 651 0 $a United States $x Military relations $z Afghanistan. 650 0 $a Nation-building $z Afghanistan. 650 0 $a Nation-building $z Iraq. 650 0 $a Nation-building $z United States. 650 7 $a Nation-building. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737474 651 7 $a Afghanistan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205406 651 7 $a Iraq. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205757 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Martini, Jeffrey, $e author. 700 1 $a Campbell, Jason H., $e author. 700 1 $a Toukan, Mark, $e author. 700 1 $a Kwon, Inhyok, $e author. 710 2 $a Arroyo Center. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation. 710 1 $a United States. $b Army. 787 08 $i See also: $t Using U.S. leverage to limit instability in fragile states : executive summary $r RAND/RR-A250-2 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011823.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=91BB3394664511EDB99D19AA23ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
