It analyses the 'figure' of fragile states as a unit of analysis and situates the study of fragility, governance and political adaptation within contemporary global and local political, economic, and socio-cultural contexts. The chapters offer an indispensable, econometrically informed guide to better understanding issues which have an impact on fragility in governance and nation-building and affect policy-making and program design targeting institutions in various circumstances. These issues, as they relate to the indicators of fragility, are the contexts and correlates of armed conflicts on statehood and state fragility, the poverty-trap, pandemics and household food insecurity, child labor, and household income inequality. Case studies from across 46 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries are assessed to offer clear, broad and multidisciplinary views of what the future holds for them and the international donor communities at large. Regarding state-led interventions, the authors utilise insightful statistical methods and epistemologies to explain the correlates of behavioural language frames and conflict de-escalation on battle-related deaths across the conflict zones within the sub-region, the regional and country-level interventions to end child labor, the institutional frameworks and interventions in the advancement of food security and health, the relationships between financial access, ICT, and female economic participation. This book will be of interest to scholars of economics, development, politics in developing countries, Area and African Studies, peace, conflict, and security studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Political stability $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Nation-building $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Conflict management $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Child labor $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Food security $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 651 0 $a Africa, Sub-Saharan $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Child labor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854472 650 7 $a Conflict management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00874778 650 7 $a Food security. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01748879 650 7 $a Nation-building. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737474 650 7 $a Political stability. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069883 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Sub-Saharan Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239520 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 700 1 $a Koomson, Isaac, $e author. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781000025675 830 0 $a Routledge contemporary Africa series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721013859.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB8C1FDAB05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
