Commitment to Development Index
Rich and poor countries are linked in many
ways by foreign aid, commerce, migration, the environment, and military
affairs. The Commitment to Development Index (CDI) rates 21 rich countries
on how much they help poor countries build prosperity, good government, and
security. Each rich country gets scores in seven policy areas, which are
averaged for an overall score.

EM-DAT : the
International Disaster Database (WHO)
An initiative aimed to rationalise decision
making for disaster preparedness, as well as providing an objective base for
vulnerability assessment and priority setting. For example, it allows on to
decide whether floods in a given country are more significant in terms of
its human impact than earthquakes or whether a country is more vulnerable
than another for computing resources is. EMDAT contains essential core data
on the occurrence and effects of over 12,800 mass disasters in the world
from 1900 to present. The database is compiled from various sources,
including UN agencies, non-governmental organisations, insurance companies,
research institutes and press agencies.
Funds for Peace Failed States Index
Third annual Failed States Index -
which has been expanded to include 177 countries. Hundreds of thousands of
articles from global and regional sources were collected from May to
December 2006 using
Thomson Dialog.
Utilizing our CAST software to do initial analysis of these voluminous
documents and with a review by experts, we compiled the scores below. We
encourage others to utilize the Failed States Index to develop ideas for
promoting greater stability worldwide. We hope the Index will spur
conversations, encourage debate, and most of all help guide strategies for
sustainable security.
Global
Identifier Number (Glide)
To address both of these issues, Asian
Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) proposed a globally common Unique

Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) of the University of
Louvain in Brussels (Belgium), OCHA/ReliefWeb, OCHA/FSCC, ISDR, UNDP, WMO,
IFRC, OFDA-USAID, FAO, La Red and the World Bank and was jointly launched as
a new initiative "GLIDE".

Human Security Report Human Security Center
(Canada)
In absence of official
statistics on political violence or human rights abuses around the world,
there is a clear need for a comprehensive annual report that tracks trends
in these and other human security issues. The
Human Security Report is inspired by
the UN’s Human Development Report
with the obvious difference being that its focus is on security, not
development, trends. Like the Human
Development Report, the Human
Security Report draws on the most recent scholarly research, focuses
on people rather than states, and strives to be accessible to
non-specialists.

Natural Disaster Management, India Ministry of Home Affairs
Natural calamities, of one description or the
other, affect nations all over the world. Because of the large geographical
size of the country, India often faces natural calamities like floods,
cyclones and drought occurring fairly frequently in different parts of the
country. At times, the same area is subjected to floods and drought
situation in successive seasons or years. While not all natural calamities
can be predicted and prevented, a state of preparedness and ability to
respond quickly to a natural calamity can considerably mitigate loss of life
and property and the human suffering and restore normalcy at the earliest.
It is, therefore, of paramount importance that a plan of action for dealing
with contingencies that arise in the wake of natural calamities is
formulated and periodically updated.

Crisis Management.
R A Boin (Editor)
. Sage Publications Ltd: Los Angeles, Calif. 2008.
Our world
is replete with crises. The landmarks of the new millennium bear the
names of unprecedented adversity: 9/11, the Madrid and London bombings,
the Boxing Day Tsunami, SARS and avian flu, to name only a few. Crises
are threats against the core values or life-sustaining functions of a
social system and require urgent and immediate remedial action. Crises
are "inconceivable threats come true".Governments and organizations must
be prepared to meet these threats. They cannot afford to ignore crisis
management requisites or deal with them in a superfluous, mostly
symbolic fashion. This major work provides a map towards effective
crisis management starting with an introductory essay by the editor
explaining the reasoning behind the selection, defining key concepts and
introducing the key themes around which the major work set is organiszed.
The collection is organized into three parts, each part dealing with a
specific theme. Part I is devoted to understanding the causes and
dynamics of modern crises. Part II collects together key articles
discussing the core challenges of crisis management, reporting empirical
findings and theoretical milestones. Part III focuses on the
consequences of crises and crisis management.

Max G. Manwaring.
Westport, CO: Praeger, 2000. 264p.
The political practice of "declaring victory and coming home" has provided a
false and dangerous impression of success for U.S. interventions in failing and
failed states around the world. The reality is that the root causes and the
violent consequences of contemporary intranational conflict are left to smolder
and reignite at a later date with the accompanying human and physical waste. The
international community must realize that such action requires a long-term,
strategic approach.

The rapid expansion of peacekeeping after the end of the Cold War has
thrust the military into an unfamiliar world in which it has to develop a close
relationship with civilians at all levels - strategic, tactical and operational.
Operations in Cambodia, Haiti, Somalia and the former Yugoslavia, whether under
UN or NATO auspices, have revealed the difficulties inherent in civil-military
co-operation. This text makes recommendations for developing a more effective
civil-military relationship.

The author analyzes the postconflict reconstruction gap in three case studies -
Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan - and shows how military engineering brigades
accompanying peacekeeping contingents can be put to use immediately after the
conflict ends to restore vital infrastructure and social institutions. The
author proposes changes in U.S. national security decision making to integrate
military engineering brigades into postconflict reconstruction, thus making U.S.
military officials less wary of "mission creep" and nation-building.

pressures present in different kinds of interventions ranging from Rwanda and
