What do we mean when we use the term 'failed states'? This book
presents the origins of the term, how it shaped the conceptual
framework for international development and security in the
post-Cold War era, and why. The book also questions how specific
international interventions on both aid and security fronts -
greatly varied by actor - based on these outsiders' perceptions of
state failure create conditions that fit their characterizations of
failed states. Susan L. Woodward offers details of international
interventions in peacebuilding, statebuilding, development
assistance, and armed conflict by all these specific actors. The
book analyzes the failure to re-order the international system
after 1991 that the conceptual debate in the early 1990s sought -
to the serious detriment of the countries labelled failed or
fragile and the concept's packaging of the entire 'third world',
despite its growing diversity since the mid-1980s, as one.
