Modern warlordism is a prominent feature of the post-Cold War era.
Warlords present a major security threat in many regions of Africa
and Asia. Although the international community has intervened in
many warlord conflicts over the past decade and half, the results
of these interventions are mixed. Such outcomes may stem from an
incomplete assessment of the root causes of warlordism. Warlordism
is a recurrent phenomenon in history, having appeared several times
since the fall of the Roman Empire, and was always the sign of
state weakness. A key factor in the warlordisation of many weak
states today is the imposition of the European nation state -
through colonisation and de-colonisation - in areas that do not
have the same historical experience as the originators of this form
of political organisation. This monograph posits the international
system and the nation state within as causes of warlordism,
presents a vertical comparison between historical and modern
warlords, and examines the functioning of warlord domains. The case
of Afghanistan presents itself as an example to test the validity
of the book.
