World’s Fragile States: Sri Lanka should not ignore being classified as an alert state
- Sri Lanka a failed state according to Fragile State Index- July 28, 2014
On
the basis of the country’s score in 12 broad indicators, Sri Lanka is
being continuously ranked, from 2006 – the year in which the country was
included in the Index – as a fragile state, earlier a failed state, by
USA based Fund for Peace or FFP. The ranking in the index is done like
the ranking of the students in a class from best to worst. Thus, in
respect of each indicator, the best country is ranked at number 1 and
the weakest at number 10. Accordingly, countries that get a score of 12
or close to it are ranked as strong. In the opposite, those that get
scores of 120 or close to that number are ranked as fragile.
