Weak or failed states - where no government is in control - are the
source of many of the world's most serious problems, from poverty,
AIDS and drugs to terrorism. What can be done to help? The problem of
weak states and the need for state-building has existed for many
years, but it has been urgent since September 11 and Afghanistan and
Iraq.
The formation of proper public institutions, such as an honest police
force, uncorrupted courts, functioning schools and medical services
and a strong civil service, is fraught with difficulties. We know how
to help with resources, people and technology across borders, but
state building requires methods that are not easily transported. The
ability to create healthy states from nothing has suddenly risen to
the top of the world agenda. State building has become a crucial
matter of global security. In this hugely important book, Francis
Fukuyama explains the concept of state-building and discusses the
problems and causes of state weakness and its national and
international effects.
