What is Nation Building? I would define Nation Building as: establishing the foundational infrastructure, policies and laws, processes, organizations, and human resources that would allow a nation to exist and continue to function after the Nation Building efforts have concluded. When is Nation Building needed? I would answer that Nation Building is needed whenever there is an significantly large population that exists in a common geography which lacks a central government and there is significant general suffering of the people. Who can perform Nation Building? In today's world I would answer, no one.
