This hour: why some states become fragile; how it affects the people who live there; and the US approach to getting fragile states back on their feet. We’ll focus on the conflict in Syria - the site of one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent memory. What is the US doing right and where is our foreign policy falling short? Finally, we’ll look what happens when the US and other democracies ignore fragile states and leave the rebuilding to authoritarian regimes like China.
Much of the program is a town hall discussion we held on March 19, 2018.
