Foreign Policy magazine recently published an interactive map of the world’s ‘failed states’ as well as those nations at risk of failing. This map, see below, was based on an analysis by FP and the Fund for Peace. It prompted a fairly heated argument over the accuracy of the report as well as the definition of failure.
In a new article for Foreign Policy, David Rothkopf makes the case for the United States as perhaps the biggest failure:
Maybe the real failed states are the ones that have the means to help other nations — but choose to retreat inward.
