Question

• What is the connection between failed (now referred to as fragile) states and terrorism and other forms of political violence?
• Provide an example of a failed/fragile state that is associated with terrorism.
• In addition to terrorism and other forms of political violence, what other problems are generally associated with failed/fragile states?
• What can, or should, the international community do to address this issue?

Answer 1

Failed states and terrorism along with other political violence all are interdependent on each other. It does not means only failed states have terrorism each and every state will have terrorism but failed states will have these terrorism activity taking place. In these failed state there will be no proper functioning of government which makes these terrorist groups to settle their and organize from there all the activities. In some cases even the government can't do anything as these people take control of their people and even government.

Ex: Syria , Afghanistan etc

Other problems of failed states are

1) No stable government

2) No development in education and technology

3) No infrastructure development

4) High inflation and unemployment rate

5) No stable and efficient military

6) Poverty and uneven economic development

International community should take help of developed countries with strong military and first remove all terrorist organisation settled in those places.

Should develop these countries to form a standle government so that they can develop in every sector like education, technology, infrastructure, economy and reduce their unemployment and poverty.
