State-Building Strategies for the 21st Century
Friday 23 May 2008 13:30 to 14:30
Location
Chatham House, London
Participants
Dr Ashraf Ghani, Chairman, Institute for State Effectiveness; Finance Minister, Afghanistan (2002-04)
Clare Lockhart, Co-founder and CEO, Institute for State Effectiveness
Chair: Rt Hon Clare Short MP, Secretary of State for International Development (1997-2003)
Type: Members event
Afghanistan and Iraq were the first major challenges of state-building in the 21st century, but the speakers will argue that they were approached through the institutional lens of the 20th century. Building on insights from a variety of thinkers, cases of successful turnaround and recent advances in technology, they will offer a framework for state-building that enables governments to be accountable for the performance of core functions for their citizens, linked to the process of globalization.
