I've only read it once, so need to read it again, but it seems to pull together a lot of what we've been discussing re: failing states and all of their attendant issues. He discusses the dangers of failed states, makes a point that Nation Building and building/rebuilding States are two very different things, and then goes on to address the different types of failed states and what he thinks we should and should not do about them.
I need to read it again and think about his recommendations some more.
I hadn't heard of Crocker, so wasn't sure of his background.
