Abstract
|
:
|
Research has found that state failure events, such as internal wars and political upheavals are the antecedents of most humanitarian emergencies. Although scholars studying humanitarian emergencies, such as forced migration, may not have the ability to precisely predict their occurrence, there is research available that suggests that with the onset of episodes of state crisis, humanitarian emergencies can be anticipated. Therefore, with the occurrence of each episode of state failure, there is the expectation that a humanitarian crisis will inevitably emerge. This book positions state failure as a process that occurs in two discrete stages: one in which a state can be said to be failing and is in decline, or one in which it has reached the point of complete breakdown, and explores the relationship between state collapse and forced migration.
