Abstract
The study of state is of great importance for the geographical – political studies since it represents a political and social entity. It's existence requires the availability of its basic pillars (the people, the region, and the authority). It is responsible for carrying out its functions, which represent the main, sole and justified purpose of its existence. In addition, the quality of its performance for its internal and external functions is the measure of its efficiency and sustainability. The states that are subject to setbacks and obstacles in the performance of their functions are described in several terms, the most important of which is the term ''fragile state''. Such term has a semantic power in describing the efficiency of the state in providing the needs of its population as well as to meet their aspirations. Thus, their sustainability as a country or the possibility of its collapse depends on these aspects, which entails considerable risks at the local and international levels, which is widely used to describe ( weak state, vulnerable state, failed state, failing state, collapsed state, stable state, state of crisis and recovering etc. ) From such terms, two triggers emerged the declaration of Millennium Development Goals and the events of September 11, 2001. As a result, several indicators emerged, including progress in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) of the World Bank, the Fragile State Index (FSI) of Fund For peace, as well as the Organization for Economic Co – operation and Development (OECD). These indicators were used for two purposes: assisting States, reducing the negative effects of crises, and/or defaming those countries in order to justify hostile policies towards them by the major powers.
