A collapse of central authority as the outcome of a prolonged civil war, where authority descends into competing factions -- headed by warlords -- around the spoils of local commerce, power and international aid. At the other end of the scale is Malawi. During President Bingu's second term in office, the country's economy collapsed as a result of poor policies and personalised politics. On the surface, save the petrol queues, it was stable; underneath, the polity was fractured, the economy broken. Between these two extremes of state failure are all manner of examples. Drawing on research in more than thirty countries, incorporating interviews with a dozen leaders Mills disaggregates state failure and identifies instances of recovery in Latin America, Asia and Africa. All the while he returns to his key questions: how do countries recover, and what roles ought insiders and outsiders play to aid that process?--Jacket. 0aEconomic history. 0aEconomic development. 0aNation-building. 0aSocial history. 7aEconomic development.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00901785 7aEconomic history.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00901974 7aNation-building.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01737474 7aPolitics and government2fast0(OCoLC)fst01919741 7aSocial history.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01122498 0aAsiaxEconomic conditions. 0aAsiaxPolitics and government. 0aAfricaxEconomic conditions. 0aAfricaxPolitics and government. 7aAfrica.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01239509 7aAsia.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01240495423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1604/2015431215-b.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1604/2015431215-d.html413Table of contents onlyuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1604/2015431215-t.html  a7bcbcccopycatd2encipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBKn0  c23699d23698  00102lcc4070aKMAbKMAd2025-03-10l0oHC21 .M395 2014pKMA009846r2025-03-10w2025-03-10yBK  00102lcc4070aKMAbKMAd2026-04-21i009/17l0oHC21 .M395 2014pKMA009849r2026-04-21w2026-04-21yBK
