State failure, ethnopolitical war, genocide, famine, and refugee
flows are variants of a type of complex political and humanitarian
crisis, exemplified during the 1990s in places like Somalia,
Bosnia, Liberia, and Afghanistan. The international consequences of
such crises are profound, often threatening regional security and
requiring major inputs of humanitarian assistance. They also may
pose long-term and costly challenges of rebuilding shattered
governments and societies. A vital policy question is whether
failures can be diagnosed far enough in advance to facilitate
effective international efforts at prevention or peaceful
transformation. This volume of original essays examines crisis
early warning factors at different levels, in different settings,
and judges their effectiveness according to various models. Top
contributors offer answers along with analyses as they move from
early warning to early response in their policy recommendations.
