Addressing Fragility--A New Learning Agenda. Fragility Study Group Policy Brief No. 8
Blum, Andrew
United States Institute of Peace
The goal of this paper is to describe what is needed to develop and implement a more robust and effective learning agenda focused on addressing fragility that effectively informs policy decisions. In particular, the paper makes three overarching recommendations: (1) Focus the learning agenda on the "collective wisdom" on supporting peace and stability in fragile states articulated in "U.S. Leadership and the Challenge of State Fragility" (Fragility Study Group, September 2016); (2) Prioritize developing a better understanding of how to foster inclusion across all social sectors and addressing the challenges to "working politically" that often hinder research on inclusion; and (3) Develop and support learning systems that create rapid feedback loops and that break down the distinction between learning and implementation. [The Fragility Study Group is an independent, non-partisan initiative, jointly convened by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP), the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) and the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP), to improve the U.S. government's approach to reducing global fragility.]
