“Too Fragile to Hold the World”

Dr. Iveta Hlouchova published a chapter on the topic of state fragility as a major challenge to the existing world order in the prestigious Routledge Handbook of the Future of Warfare. For over a decade, countries characterized by weak state capacity or weak legitimacy have become major sources of security threats. This chapter explores the phenomenon of state fragility from the perspective of the major threats and challenges to the future global security environment it poses and what it means for the future of warfare. Originating in fragile states, security challenges are intertwined and often lead to the weakening of the state apparatus, which is something potentially dangerous for the entire international community.
