| Description: |
Drawing on case studies from Yemen, Liberia, Haiti, Central African Republic and Aceh, the report offers insights to address fragility by building social cohesion. This report advocates for adapting development interventions to bridge divides across groups, in addition to enhancing the state's capacity to engage with different groups in society. |
| Synopsis: |
Societal Dynamics and Fragility aims to address the social dimensions of fragility. Prepared as a complement to the 2011 World Development Report, this book frames fragility as a problem not only of state capacity, but also of relationships in society. Drawing on analytical work in Liberia, Central African Republic, Yemen, Indonesia (Aceh) and Haiti, it recommends placing social cohesion at the center of development efforts in fragile environments by cultivating an in-depth understanding of the societal dynamics at play in each context and adapting programs to address the sources of division that hinder state building. Specifically, the book advocates a focus on perceptions of injustice at least as much as measurable inequalities, and for creating space to facilitate constructive connections between institutions, especially between customary and state structures as well as often-nascent civil society institutions. |
