Failed States and Fragile Societies

In case studies from the former Yugoslavia, Somalia, Iraq, and Colombia, Failed States and Fragile Societies argues that early intervention to stabilize social, economic, and political systems offers the greatest promise, whereas military intervention at a later stage is both costlier and less likely to succeed.

In studiile de caz din fosta Iugoslavie, Somalia, Irak si Columbia, statele esuate si societatile fragile sustin ca interventia timpurie pentru stabilizarea sistemelor sociale, economice si politice ofera cea mai mare promisiune, in timp ce interventia militara intr-o etapa ulterioara este atat mai costisitoare, cat si mai mica probabil sa reuseasca.
