Fragile States are unlikely to reach the Millennium goals. Most of the actors, political as well as economical, are afraid to commit in these States because they are seen as too "dangerous".
This conference on fragile States aims to explain what kind of experiences -positive or negative - took place on the field. By explaining how and why they were a success or a failure, we wish to contribute better knowledge to the political actors and to the public.
The conference will begin with the presentation of a report edited by OECD. Our guests will present their experience on these States. We aim to question the stereotypes about fragile States and to make the public understand that they are not necessarily dangerous.

The Resurgence of Risk in Turkey
Turkey has entered a new phase of turbulence. The arrest of Istanbul’s mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu, on March 19, 2025, triggered a broad protest movement, which the main opposition party, the CHP, is attempting to organize. In parallel, the government continues its peace process with the PKK — a development that could profoundly reshape the country’s political landscape.
