Abstract

When people flee their country, this usually indicates that their government has given up on parts of its population. In order to prevent displacement crises, this kind of state fragility needs to be countered. Fragility is a governance failure that cannot be overcome without transforming political institutions. Development cooperation must be geared towards addressing state fragility more comprehensively, with governance support playing a key role in this context.

In a recent paper, this author and his co-authors have used a slightly modified terminology, referring to the three core functions as violence control, implementation capacity and empirical legitimacy (Ziaja et al. 2019). For reasons of simplicity, this chapter employs the older, somewhat more established trinity of authority, capacity and legitimacy (see also Carment et al. 2010: 76ff.).

Many development organisations address the promotion of governance (and democracy) and the thematic area ‘crisis prevention, conflict management and peacebuilding’ in separate divisions. In substance, however, and particularly in the context of state fragility, they belong closely together and should generally be understood as a common field of activity – including where they affect the responsibilities of various government departments or ministries. Where I mention the promotion of good governance in the following, I refer to this entire field of activity.

For an unconventional but thought-provoking and constructive discussion of the challenges of promoting good governance, cf. Whaites et al. (2015).
