In The Universally Acclaimed And Awardwinning The Bottom Billion, Paul Collier Reveals That Fifty Failed Stateshome To The Poorest One Billion People On Earthpose The Central Challenge Of The Developing World In The Twentyfirst Century. The Book Shines Muchneeded Light On This Group Of Small Nations, Largely Unnoticed By The Industrialized West, That Are Dropping Further And Further Behind The Majority Of The World'S People, Often Falling Into An Absolute Decline In Living Standards. A Struggle Rages Within Each Of These Nations Between Reformers And Corrupt Leadersand The Corrupt Are Winning. Collier Analyzes The Causes Of Failure, Pointing To A Set Of Traps That Ensnare These Countries, Including Civil War, A Dependence On The Extraction And Export Of Natural Resources, And Bad Governance. Standard Solutions Do Not Work, He Writes; Aid Is Often Ineffective, And Globalization Can Actually Make Matters Worse, Driving Development To More Stable Nations. What The Bottom Billion Need, Collier Argues, Is A Bold New Plan Supported By The Group Of Eight Industrialized Nations. If Failed States Are Ever To Be Helped, The G8 Will Have To Adopt Preferential Trade Policies, New Laws Against Corruption, New International Charters, And Even Conduct Carefully Calibrated Military Interventions.
