• Framework for Success: Fragile States and Societies Emerging from Conflict
  This strategic framework is crafted to be useful to (and ideally shared by) all the actors involved in post-conflict stability and state-building operations (i.e., military, government, NGO, IGO, private sector, and host nation leaders). It is organized around end states the ultimate goals of societies emerging from conflict. It also includes critical leadership responsibilities that are crucial to mission success. This framework is most valuable in planning and organizing operations, but it also has great value as an underlying structure from which training and education programs, monitoring efforts, and coordination mechanisms can cascade. It also has value as an organizing framework for cataloging documents, resources, and effective practices.
