Failing States
¥States fail when governments
lose control of part or all of their territory and can no longer ensure their peopleÕs security
¥Rapidly growing populations,
rising hunger and poverty, resource depletion, and political stresses are pushing more countries such as Afghanistan, Haiti, and Sudan toward state failure each year, decreasing stability
How many failing states
before our global civilization begins to unravel?Photo Credit: iStockPhoto /
