Rethinking responses to state failure, with special reference to Africa
State failure is both a key cause and symptom of underdevelopment in Africa. This article provides a geopolitical perspective on the reasons for state failure in Africa, and offers the following solutions to dealing with this phenomenon.

The analysis is based on a review of government, think-tank, and other publications and transcripts ass…
