More about the book

The essay examines the escalating development crisis in various regions, particularly Subsahara Africa, where modernization failures have led to politicized societies marked by ethnic conflicts and instability. It highlights the emergence of "political economies of threat," where certain groups benefit from ongoing violence. The text emphasizes the international community's challenge in implementing preventive policies to avert political radicalization and address potential human rights violations and genocide resulting from state failures.
