‘Small Island Developing States: Fragility in a Globalizing World Gone Off-Track’ was the subject of a presentation by two Ottawa academics who are involved in developing a framework for the analysis of state fragility and failure.

David Carment is a Professor in the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University and Fellow of the Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute (CDFAI). He serves as the principal investigator for the Country Indicators for Foreign Policy Project (CIFP), and currently heads a team of researchers that evaluates policy effectiveness in failed and fragile states.

Yiagadeesen (Teddy) Samy is Assistant Professor and Acting Associate Director of the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University, with a specialization in international trade, international finance and economic development. Some of his recent and ongoing research interests include trade and labor standards, debt relief, political economy of foreign direct investment, state fragility and its implications for aid allocation and aid effectiveness, and small island developing states.
