60 Most Failed Countries of the World: Postcards From Hell

List of countries by Failed States Index

 

[RescueRanger]

. ISRAEL

No! How is ISRAEL a failed state? It produces some really advanced medical and military tech, has a stable economy, good education, health care, a "democratic" government...

Same for Egypt (has a stable economy)

Same for Philippines - Strong economy, well developed IT sector, in 2008 the country saw a 38% Growth in Philippines IT Sector.

Colombia - Just look at the economic growth and the increase in per capita income from 2008 - to present. Look at the reforms in governance? Increased domestic security..

Pakistan - Well i was expecting Pakistan to be on that list, despite this numerous reports proving Pakistan is anything but a failed state.

There indicators and analysis of what qualifies a "failed" state are just nonsense.

 

[Jigs]

Good list. Most of the countries on it make sense. Though i wouldn't label some as failed states. Ones that certainly are not stable and not modern but i wouldn't say they are failed.

 

[gubbi]

I couldnt agree more RR.

The criteria for drawing up that list seems to be based on the level of unrest and violence being perpetuated on the civilian population. However thats a very wrong criteria to judge a failed state!

If that was the criteria, not many of my compatriots are gonna like this but, then India with her Maoist problems should also be on that list - just like Israel!

 

[jha]

yes..i dont agree with bhutan also...it is not a failed state..

 

[javaman]

i didnt expect pak,srilanka,egypt,israel.

 

[Trichy]

even bhutan, i cant accept, i went lot of times there but i never heard any violence or food shortage any thing??????/
