Foreign Affairs, 2005
IN TODAY'S increasingly interconnected world, weak and failed states pose an acute risk to U.S. and global security. Indeed, they present one of the most important foreign policy challenges of the contemporary era. States are most vulnerable to collapse in the time immediately before, during, and after conflict.

State Responses to HMO Failures
Health Affairs, 1991Prologue: As health maintenance organizations (HMOs) have flourished as an alternative to traditional means of delivering and paying for health care, so too has the body of federal and state regulation governing them. In the early years of HMOs, most regulation concerning them did little to restrict their function, since they were viewed as a market ...

Defining mean time-to-failure in a particular failure-state for multi-failure-state systems
IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 2001In multi-failure-state systems which have both dangerous (critical) and safe (noncritical) failure states, it is both meaningful and important to be able to measure the MTTF in a particular failure state separately from MTTF in general. MTTF/sub D/ (fail dangerous) and MTTF/sub S/ (fail safe) are defined, emphasizing the engineering context of the ...

State-building: exporting state failure
2006State-building, has now established itself as an accepted form of international intervention. The idea that international institutions or major powers should intervene in so-called 'weak' or 'failing' states to rebuild state institutions is no longer controversial, even when this means temporarily rescinding the rights of non-intervention and national

Weak States, State Failure, and Terrorism
Terrorism and Political Violence, 2007It is common to hear the assertion that weak or failed states are fertile ground for terrorism. Yet terrorist groups have emerged from, and operated within, countries which have strong, stable states and a variety of systems of government. Terrorist organizations operate in weak and failed states but it is not necessarily the condition of weak or ...

State fiscal capacity and state failure
European Political Science Review, 2014This paper develops a predatory theory approach to understanding state failure. Predatory theory expects that state revenue extraction is central to the ability of states to engage in any other activities. States that are able to maximize their revenue extraction subject to well-known constraints are therefore likely to avoid state failure.

State failure, governance failure and policy failure: Exploring the linkages
Public Policy and Administration, 2015There is some tendency to lump together policy failures arising from different sources and having different fundamental characteristics. This is a problem conceptually, as well as for building effective theory about policy failure, but it can also be a practical difficulty for policymakers if they fail to differentiate these various possible roots of ...
