When States Fail by Robert I Rotberg

When States Fail by Robert I Rotberg

Since 1990, more than 10 million people have been killed in the civil wars of failed states, and hundreds of millions more have been deprived of fundamental rights. This book examines how and why states decay and what, if anything, can be done to prevent them from collapsing.

"Rotberg has collected a cadre of renowned scholars who flesh out the political, economic, and social reasons for state failure and provide prescriptions for both prevention and postfailure resuscitation"--Cameron M. Otopalik, Perspectives on Political Science

Robert I. Rotberg is Director of the Kennedy School of Government's Program on Intrastate Conflict and President of the World Peace Foundation.
