Adapting America's Security Paradigm and Security Agenda
Abstract
As this report documents, one key factor in the evolution now under way is that half of the nearly 200 countries in the world are weak, failing, or failed states. These states often have little control over major parts of their territory. They cannot provide security or deliver major services to large segments of their population. They are vulnerable to whoever can mobilize the population and armed groups-terrorists, criminals, insurgents and militias-within their territories. Afghanistan and Pakistan are among the most dramatic examples, but many other regions face similar problems.
