Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. Summary:State failure is a central challenge to international peace and security in the post-Cold War era. Yet theorizing on the causes of state failure remains surprisingly limited. The author draws on his fieldwork in two Central Asian republics - Tajikistan, where state institutions fragmented into a five-year civil war from 1992 through 1997, and Uzbekistan, which constructed one of the largest state security apparatuses in post-Soviet Eurasia - to advance a theory of state failure focused on unlootable resources, rent seeking, and unruly elites. In Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and other countries with low capital mobility - where resources cannot be extracted, concealed, or transported to market without state intervention - local elites may control resources, but they depend on patrons to convert their resources into rents.
