This book examines the various ways in which some fragile states in
the Global South (or states with limited statehood) have adopted,
and adapted to, processes of governance in their quests to address
the socialized problems affecting their societies. It tells the
story of these states' resilience in the societal adaptation to a
liberalized notion of governance. In addition to comparative case
studies, the book also analyzes the engendered interplay of
culture, economics, and politics in the creation of people-centric
governance reforms. The contributing authors shed light on weak
states' often constructive engagement in the promotion of state
governance under a variety of societal conditions, adverse or
otherwise, and on their ability to remain resilient despite the
complexities of the political and economic challenges they face.
The book examines the various ways that fragile states (or states
with limited statehood) in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the
Americas have adopted, and adapted to, the processes of liberal
political governance in their quests to address the problem of
political fragility. It presents the stories of resilience in the
political adaptation to Western liberal conceptions of governance.
In addition to singular or comparative country case studies, this
project also examines the interplay of culture, identities, and
politics in the creation of people-centric governance reforms.
Towards these ends, this volume sheds light on weak states' often
constructive engagement in the promotion of state governance with a
variety of political conditions, adverse or otherwise; and their
ability to remain resilient despite the complex political,
sociocultural, and economic challenges affecting them. Through a
multidisciplinary approach, the authors aim to counter the
noticeable shortcomings in the discursive representations of
fragility, and to contribute a more balanced examination of the
narratives about and impact of political adaption and governance in
people's lives and experiences.
