The present paper disputes this contention. It argues that the European Enlightenment spawned two phenomena that have revolutionized the world: the nation-state and the Industrial Enlightenment. The two are interconnected in the sense that both are predicated on the premise that the creative talents and voice of the masses should prevail, realizing progress in the long-run. Successful nation-state projects achieve these ends by expanding the scope of infrastructure (human capital enhancing, physical and financial). As a result domestic violence rates plummet. At the same time the technological progress unleashed by the Industrial Enlightenment drives down the relative price of exerting military force in successful nation-states. The result is a huge gap in military potential between nation-states and states that are not yet nation-states. The existence of this gap promotes intrusion in the domestic affairs of traditional states by nation-states, ultimately leading to the conversion of states into nation-states. For this reason the world witnessed a massive unleashing of international violence in the period 1914-75, the eponymous Hemoclysm. However at its conclusion the nation-state system has spread globally. Moreover technological progress in the field of military affairs has so transformed warfare that it has become less and less useful as a tool for managing international affairs. This state of affairs has ushered in the long peace and a massive expansion of international trade.","PeriodicalId":313914,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Interstate Conflict (Topic)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125505537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Weak States and Global Threats: Assessing Evidence of Spillovers","authors":"Stewart Patrick","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.984057","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.984057","url":null,"abstract":"A key motivation behind recent donor attention and financial resources devoted to developing countries is the presumed connection between weak and failing states, on the one hand, and a variety of transnational threats, on the other. Indeed, it has become conventional wisdom that poorly performing states generate multiple cross-border “spillovers,” including terrorism, weapons proliferation, organized crime, regional instability, global pandemics, and energy insecurity. What is striking is how little empirical evidence underpins such sweeping assertions. A closer look suggests that the connection between state weakness and global threats is less clear and more variable than typically assumed. Both the type and extent of “spillovers” depend in part on whether the weakness in question is a function of state capacity, will, or a combination of the two. Moreover, a preliminary review suggests that some trans-border threats are more likely to emerge not from the weakest states but from stronger states that possess narrower but critical gaps in capacity and will. Crafting an effective U.S. and international strategy towards weak states and the cross-border spillovers they sometimes generate will depend on a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms linking these two sets of phenomena. The challenge for analysts and policymakers will be to get greater clarity about which states are responsible for which threats and design development and other external interventions accordingly. This working paper represents an initial foray in this direction, suggesting avenues for future research and policy development.","PeriodicalId":313914,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Interstate Conflict (Topic)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123982153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
