Fragile States and Insecure People?: Violence, Security, and Statehood in the Twenty-First Century

By Bjørn Møller, Finn Stepputat, Louise Andersen

Book Overview

This book provides a unique account of the pursuit of security at the edge of the global order. It sheds light on reform of state police and armed forces, and analyses the alternative security structures that emerge in the absence of the state. This book remains open-minded as to which 'model' for security is better.
