"State weakness" is seen to be a widespread problem throughout
Central Asia and other parts of post-socialist space, and more
broadly in areas of the developing world. Challenging the
widespread assumption that these "weak states" inevitably slide
toward failure, Paradox of Power takes careful stock of the varied
experiences of Eurasian states to reveal a wide array of surprising
outcomes. The case studies show how states teeter but do not
collapse, provide public goods against all odds, interact with
societies in creative ways, utilize coercion effectively against
internal opponents, and establish practices that are far more
durable than the language of "weakness" would allow. While
deepening our understanding of the phenomenon in Eurasia in
particular, the essays also contribute to more general theories of
state weakness.
