| Description | This article aims to conceptualize the problematics of weakening and collapse of state power. The authors don't try to challenge the current conceptions of Rotberg, Zartman, etc., but to categorise these theoretical approaches into three dimensions in the context of the parametres the authors of these conceptions work with. The three dimensions that are introduced are the one of international relations, the economic one and the socio-political one. The article concludes with the presentation of the Fund for Peace tool, which tries to include all these dimensions. |
