Research Note: World Leader Rankings on Twitter December 2012 B:3 A quick review of the map indicates that world governance is in a constant state of evolution. The State Fragility Index ranges from > 0="Highly Stable" to 25="Extreme Fragility" measuring the country's Political, Economic, Social, and Security stability. The Center for Systemic Peace and Center for Global Policy’s fragility index points us toward a more stable world. Measuring each country’s political, economic, social and security stability, this organization’s fragility index (see map above) indicates that about 36% of all countries have serious to extreme fragility. Fragility Score: 0-11 Little to Moderate Fragility 12-25 Serious to Extreme Fragility In other words, approximately two-thirds of the world’s population lives under stable or somewhat stable government structures based on the criteria employed by this respected think tank. The trends toward democratization and social and economic stability are increasing.
