A dynamic two-level theory of state implosion: The cases of Lebanon, Algeria, and Yugoslavia
Abstract
dc:descriptionWhy do state implosions occur? This question urges itself on theorists and practitioners in international relations and security in the aftermath of the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Despite the importance of the question, contemporary security and international relations theory has devoted little attention to state implosion. Realism, neorealism, neoliberal institutionalism, and constructivism posit the existence and stability of states, but do not offer a theory of state formation, preservation or implosion. They assume what has to be demonstrated.
