Auguries of innocence: Failing failed states
by Sicksch, Lynsey, M.A., BOSTON COLLEGE, 2010, 101 pages; 1474724

Abstract:

Currently there are millions of people trapped within the confines of a failed state, where each day they are met with extreme risk in order to acquire the basic human needs. While these situations are easily classified as humanitarian emergencies, more often than not, the billions of dollars sent in aid harms the very communities they are charged to help. Through the case study of the world's most failed state, Somalia, this thesis defines and deconstructs state failure, explains life on-the-ground in Somalia, while suggesting solutions for the future.
