Weak Links - Fragile States, Global Threats, and International Security (Hardcover)

Conventional wisdom holds that weak and failing states are the
source of the world's most pressing security threats. After all,
the 9/11 attacks originated in an impoverished, war-ravaged
country, and transnational crime appears to flourish in weakly
governed states. However, our assumptions about the threats posed
by failing states are based on anecdotal arguments, not on a
systematic analysis of the connections between state failure and
transnational security threats. Analyzing terrorism, transnational
crime, WMDs, pandemic diseases, and energy insecurity, Stewart
Patrick shows that while some global threats do emerge in fragile
states, most of their weaknesses create misery only for their own
citizenry. Moreover, many threats originate farther up the chain,
in wealthier and more stable countries like Russia and Venezuela.
Weak Links will force policymakers to rethink what they assume
about state failure and transnational insecurity.
