Review:

"This survey of state instability accomplishes three interlinked tasks: it identifies how and why states fail; critically assesses the nature of the relationship between weak and failed states and transnational sources of insecurity; and analyzes more fully the impact of globalization upon this nexus. This book constitutes a powerful tool for policy makers, practitioners, and analysts. It not only allows them to more effectively determine which policy responses might best address this phenomenon, but also to create an appropriate set of metrics that can then gauge the viability of such responses through time." --Dr. Graeme P. Herd, Faculty Member, Geneva Centre for Security Policy and Associate Fellow, International Security Programme, Chatham House, London
