In this book, Hanna Samir Kassab develops a theoretical framework
which explains the formulation of power vacuums and examines their
impact on the international system. A power vacuum is the
fundamental absence of legitimate state authority over a geographic
territory, and it is a space free of governance. With no state
authority governing a geographical region, opportunistic states and
organized criminal and terrorist networks may attempt to control
that space. Using a variety of historical examples and centering
his analysis on ungoverned spaces rather than great powers, Kassab
uncovers neglected areas of great power competition. Part One
discusses State Actors specifically the strategic space of the
Arctic, the Middle East and Africa, and Afghanistan and Central
Asia. Part Two examines Non-State Actors such as terrorist
networks, organized criminal networks, and the formulation of
paramilitaries. Power Vacuums and Global Politics is the perfect
volume for both undergraduate and graduate courses in international
relations, security studies, political science, comparative
politics, international political economy and war and peace.
