Failed States 
The Need for a Realistic Transition in Afghanistan

Failed or failing states cause concern and spread chaos to their neighbors. They are an unquestionable and authentic source of terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, violence, disease, and economic breakdown. Afghanistan is an example of such a troubled state, which collapsed in 1992.
The Afghan state remained shattered and failed due to the inattention of the international coalition. In modern intellectual forums, most of the failed-state discourses are centered on the lack of a state’s capacity to carry out the basic services for which it is responsible, such as the rule of law, good governance, and effective border control against external threats.
This book is a collection of articles on various issues leading to the Failed States written by eminent scholars and researchers.
