Failed States and the Origins of Violence: A Comparaitve Analysis of State Failure as a Root Cause of Terrorism and Political Violence Tiffiany Howard Ashgate

From the publisher: Utilizing global barometer data, Tiffiany Howard examines the underpinnings of individual support for political violence and argues that an insidious pattern of deprivation within failed states drives ordinary citizens to engage in and support extreme acts of political violence. A rigorous examination of four regions plagued by a combination of failed states and political violence-Sub Saharan Africa, The Middle East and North Africa, Southeast and South Asia, and Latin America-this text draws parallels to arrive at a single conclusion; that failed states are a natural breeding ground for terrorism and political violence.

Tiffiany Howard is an assistant professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the department of political science. Her fields of specialization include international relations, conflict and security, migration policy, and quantitative methodology.
