The Fund for Peace today released the eighth edition of its annual
Failed States Index (FSI), highlighting global political, economic and
social pressures experienced by states.
Armenia has the best indicators among the regional states and is
ranked 102nd in the 2012 Failed States Index. Among the regional
states Azerbaijan is ranked 68th, Georgia -51st and Turkey - 85th.
The FSI ranks 178 countries using 12 social, economic, and political
indicators of pressure on the state, along with over 100
sub-indicators.
Each indicator is rated on a scale of 1-10, based on the analysis of
millions of publicly available documents, other quantitative data, and
assessments by analysts. A high score indicates high pressure on the
state, and therefore a higher risk of instability.
The 2012 FSI ranks Somalia as number one for the fifth consecutive
year, citing widespread lawlessness, ineffective government,
terrorism, insurgency, crime, and well-publicized pirate attacks
against foreign vessels.
The Finland, Sweden and Denmark have the best three rankings.
