DESCRIPTION:Who: Ashraf Ghani, Chair, Institute for State Effectiveness; former Finance 
 Minister, Afghanistan’s Transitional Administration.  Clare Lockhart, 
 Director, Institute for State Effectiveness\nEvent: Today between forty and 
 sixty nations, totaling two billion people, have either collapsed or are on 
 the brink of failure. Encompassing the world’s worst problems, the 
 international community has devoted billions of dollars, yet these efforts 
 have not succeeded. In their new book, Fixing Failed States, Ashraf Ghani 
 and Clare Lockhart consider why past efforts have not worked and argue that 
 only an integrated state-building approach, assigning responsibility 
 equally among the international community, national leaders, and citizens, 
 can heal these failing countries. Ghani and Lockhart have taken an active 
 part in the effort to save failed states for many years, serving as World 
 Bank officials, as advisers to the U.N., and as high-level participants in 
 the new government of Afghanistan.\nAdmission Costs: Council Members: FREE; 
 Students: $5; Nonmembers: $15 \n
