The Fragile States Index is based on a conflict assessment framework – known as “CAST” – which examined the vulnerability of states to collapse. The methodology uses both qualitative and quantitative indicators, relies on public source data, and produces quantifiable results. Twelve conflict risk indicators are used to measure the condition of a state at any given moment. (https://fragilestatesindex.org/indicators/).
