Book excerpt: The focus on state fragility is part of an agenda that begun to attract greater prominence in the 1990s as part of a widening of the post-Cold War international security environment. It has continued to develop subsequently, not just by the US government who claims that international security is as likely to be adversely affected as much by state fragility as strength, but wider, with the UK for instance, committing 50 percent of its development assistance to addressing the causes and consequences of fragile and failing states. This phenomenon of state fragility is critically examined by considering the actual nature of the problem, both conceptually and geo-strategically, the security implications such developments pose at multiple levels and the legal and logistical implications of responding to the development of weaknesses in key areas of state behaviour. What lessons can be learned from the UK's approach, both military and more widely, to address the question of state failure are of importance.
