N2  - Discusses why political violence is endemic in the world's poorest countries (home to a billion people) and what should be done to improve matters. Notes that democratic government holds the best promise but is a long term goal. Notes also that the high-levels of interconnectedness of the globalised world mean that rich and powerful countries have more than a philanthropic interest in seeing these problems resolved
