Opis

This book compares the dimensions of state strength characterised by community, society, and nation. By exploring factors related to social cohesion the author demonstrates how the concept of social capital can be used as an analytical tool to measure state strength empirically.

Recenzje

"A thought-provoking exploration of the social foundations of strong and weak states, wide-ranging in its scholarly sweep and enlivened by the author’s direct experiences as a soldier deployed to Haiti and Afghanistan." - Roland Paris, University Research Chair in International Security and Governance, University of Ottawa.
