Weak or failed states - where no government is in control - are the
source of many of the world's most serious problems, from poverty,
AIDS and drugs to terrorism. What can be done to help? The problem
of weak states and the need for state-building has existed for many
years, but it has been urgent since September 11 and Afghanistan
and Iraq. The formation of proper public institutions, such as an
honest police force, uncorrupted courts, functioning schools and
medical services and a strong civil service, is fraught with
difficulties. We know how to help with resources, people and
technology across borders, but state building requires methods that
are not easily transported. The ability to create healthy states
from nothing has suddenly risen to the top of the world agenda.
State building has become a crucial matter of global security. In
this hugely important book, Francis Fukuyama explains the concept
of state-building and discusses the problems and causes of state
weakness and its national and international effects.
