<br/><br/> This article uses the Country Indicators for Foreign Policy (CIFP) fragile states framework to evaluate fragile state transitions. The article aims to find out why some states considered fragile have recovered, while others remain fragile for long periods. Three categories of the countries are identified: those in fragility trap, those that have exited it, and those that fluctuate between fragility and stability.
