Foreign Policy Magazine's Index

Foreign Policy Magazine's Index, often called the "Failed States Index," assesses the stability and resilience of countries worldwide. It evaluates factors such as security, governance, economic stability, and social cohesion, using various data sources. Countries with high scores face significant challenges like conflict, corruption, or economic decline, indicating weaker stability. The index helps policymakers, researchers, and the public understand global risks and vulnerabilities, promoting informed discussions about international stability and development. It serves as a tool to monitor trends over time and identify nations requiring increased attention or aid.
