Worst Places To Live: 61 Failed States

From Haiti in the Western Hemisphere to the remnants of Yugoslavia in Europe, from Somalia, Sudan, and Liberia in Africa to Cambodia in Southeast Asia, a disturbing new phenomenon is emerging: the failed nation-state, utterly incapable of sustaining itself as a member of the international community. Civil strife, government breakdown, and economic privation are creating more and more modem debellatios, the term used in describing the destroyed German state after World War II. As those states descend into violence and anarchy -- imperiling their own citizens and threatening their neighbors through refugee flows, political instability, and random warfare -- it is becoming clear that something must be done. The massive abuses of human rights -- including that most basic of rights, the right to life-- are distressing enough, but the need to help those states is made more critical by the evidence that their problems tend to spread. Although alleviating the developing world's suffering has long been a major task, saving failed states will prove a new -- and in many ways different -- challenge.
