This paper argues that a key motivation behind recent donor attention and financial resources devoted to developing countries is the presumed connection between weak and failing states and a variety of transnational threats. The author finds it striking how little empirical evidence underpins such sweeping assertions and that the challenge for analysts and policymakers is to get greater clarity about which states are responsible for which threats and design development policy and other external interventions accordingly.
