Compressive，Assertive Action，Pragmatism and Evidence（CAPE）脆弱性指数是一个全球性的外交政策指数，用于确定需要外国援助的国家以及如何优先考虑这些国家。该指数提供了一个有证据的，结构化的和合理的方法，以利用以心理健康为基础的双边协议援助。这项研究使用了26个国际上可用的和经过验证的指标来探索和进行分析，从而制定了该指数。与许多用于描述地球仪各地情况的汇总统计数据一样，必须从根本上依赖国家报告或收集用于得出这些数据的基本信息，尽管其可靠性可能存在问题，此外，这种做法可以每年改进和重复。结论是，在指数上得分较低的国家可能是失败国家或脆弱国家：政府没有完全控制或权威的国家。这些政府往往是镇压和腐败的，可能参与严重侵犯人权的行为，并以各种形式的冲突为特征。这些政府还可能因极端气候变化、极端贫困、不平等、社会和种族分裂、无法提供基本服务而处于不利地位，并遭受以恐怖主义形式出现的小规模叛乱，这些叛乱往往是暴力和残酷的。
Abstract The Compassion, Assertive action, Pragmatism and Evidence (CAPE) Vulnerability Index is a global foreign policy index which has been used to identify countries which require foreign aid and how that can be prioritized. The Index offers an evidenced, structured, and reasoned approach to using aid in bi-lateral agreements with mental health as a foundation. This study used 26 internationally available and validated indicators to explore and perform the analysis leading to the development of the Index. As with many summary statistics used to describe matters across the globe there has to be a fundamental reliance on national reporting or gathering of the underlying information used in their derivation, although their reliability may be in question and, in addition, such an exercise can be refined and repeated every year. It is concluded that the countries which score worse on the Index are likely to be failed states or fragile states: countries where the governments do not have complete control or authority. Such governments can often be repressive and corrupt, may participate in serious human rights abuses, and are characterized by conflict of various forms. These governments are also likely to suffer disadvantage as a result of extremes of climate changes, extreme poverty, inequality, social and ethnic divisions, the inability to provide basic services, and suffer from pockets of insurgency in the form of terrorism, which are often violent and brutal.
