Security, Development and the Fragile State: Bridging the Gap between Theory and Policy - Routledge Studies in Intervention and Statebuilding 1. utgave

This book reconceptualises the notions of state failure and fragility, to provide a new policy-relevant framework on these issues. In a wide-ranging treatment, drawing on large samples and case studies, the authors create an alternative model of the fragile state emphasizing the multidimensional, multifaceted nature of the "fragile state problematique".
