The Problematic Of State Failure In Africa

Authors : Ghazli Abdelhalim .

Abstract

The study focuses on literature on the concept of "failed State", and the main reason that makes some African countries on the top of the list of failed States in the world. The research will also discuss the secret behind the rush of Western countries to describe most African countries as failed States, without taking in the consideration the differences between them, and the most undeclared objectives behind the excessive use of this concept. By highlighting this phenomenon, the paper will try to prove that failed States concept cannot be used as a reliable criterion for assessing the politico-economic realities of African countries.
