From the Back Cover

This book addresses a conundrum for the international development community: The law of development cooperation poses major constraints on delivering aid where it is needed most. The existence of a state with an effective government is a basic condition for the transfer of aid, making development cooperation with 'fragile' nations particularly challenging. The author explores how international organizations like the World Bank have responded by adopting formal and informal rules to engage specifically with countries with weak or no governments. Von Engelhardt provides a critical analysis of the discourse on fragile states and how it has shaped the policy decision-making of international organizations. By demonstrating how perceptions of fragility can have significant consequences both in practice and in law, the work challenges conventional research that dismisses state fragility as a phenomenon beyond law. It is posited that the legal parameters for effective global policy play a crucial role, and a fresh approach to a topic that is central to international security and development.


Marie von Engelhardt has worked as a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg, Germany. Previously, she was a consultant for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Geneva, Switzerland, and for the World Bank in Nairobi, Kenya, and Washington, USA.
