초록

While some countries are making progress toward achieving their development goals, a number of low-income countries are falling behind with deteriorating governance environments and situations of prolonged crisis or impasse. Consequently, the concept of state fragility has gained currency in international development and economic growth discourse. This paper aims to examine the recent status of fragile states in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and explore some empirical determinants of state fragility in the SSA region. More specifically, this paper examines the effects of natural resources, foreign aid, and corruption on state fragility among a large number of potential determinants in the African context. The issue of state fragility has been discussed by many Western donors and international organizations, while East Asian countries and their international development agencies have not paid much attention to this issue. Thus, this paper suggests that the East Asian countries including South Korea need to consider the problem of fragile states in their mid-term and long-term policy goals on international development and technical assistance, particularly for the SSA region.

Abstract

While some countries are making progress toward achieving their development goals, a number of low-income countries are falling behind with deteriorating governance environments and situations of prolonged crisis or impasse. Consequently, the concept of state fragility has gained currency in international development and economic growth discourse. This paper aims to examine the recent status of fragile states in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and explore some empirical determinants of state fragility in the SSA region. More specifically, this paper examines the effects of natural resources, foreign aid, and corruption on state fragility among a large number of potential determinants in the African context. The issue of state fragility has been discussed by many Western donors and international organizations, while East Asian countries and their international development agencies have not paid much attention to this issue. Thus, this paper suggests that the East Asian countries including South Korea need to consider the problem of fragile states in their mid-term and long-term policy goals on international development and technical assistance, particularly for the SSA region.
