During the 1990s the concept of state failure emerged as part of an
attempt to explain and understand the complex, post-Cold War, new
world dis-order. State failure achieved prominence, being applied
to situations of institutional collapse and mass violence that
appeared to herald a new level of international instability.
Ungoverned territories hosted criminal networks, narco-barons, and
terrorists; they would be sources of threats flowing from
environmental degradation and disease. The failed state influenced
profoundly international politics in early-21st century. Exploring
critically the emergence, evolution and consequences of the state
failure concept, Andrew Taylor concludes that despite a superficial
plausibility, it lacks sufficient theoretical and empirical rigour
to understand the varying phenomena gathered under the heading of
state failure. This lack of intellectual depth renders it dangerous
as a guide to policy.
