|
|
April 2, 2008 |
 |
|
| As the Bush administration enters its final months, the United States remains challenged by what can and should be done about fragile, failing, and failed states. In the article, “Failing the Failed: The Bush Administration and Failed States” published in the current issue of the Harvard International Review, CDI Senior Analyst Rachel Stohl and University of California Professor Michael Stohl argue that a preconceived strategy that is capable of handling political, economic, and social needs, in addition to more immediate security requirements, is both necessary and crucial for addressing the problem of failed states. |

|
|
| In a vote that shocked international and U.S. diplomats, the United States lost its seat on the UN Human Rights Commission last week, a position that had been held since the Commission's founding in 1947. In a secret ballot vote, the United States received 29 votes out of a possible 54 votes from the Member States of the Economic and Social Council. Only India and Russia have served on the Commission since its creation (they face reelection in 2003). |

Bush Policy on Failed States is Lacking
|
|
April 19, 2001 |
|
|
| The early Bush presidency has so far focused on domestic politics, issues surrounding nuclear weapons and missile shields, and relations with Russia and China. To date, the Bush team has not focused on the issue of failed states and the approach to the problems such states might pose. Rather, it has indicated that most of the potential failed states are not within the scope of the U.S. national interest. |
