Acknowledging this truth openly is the only way to mobilize U.S. and international attention, resources, and staying power. It is time, therefore, for a fresh articulation of Washington's purposes, centered on sustaining regional security, leading coalitions and institutions to help failing and threatened states, and winning the struggle after wars end and regimes change." (FOREIGN AFFAIRS) The author opines that "unless the United States and its principal partners engage proactively to prevent and contain state failure, rogue regimes may seize power in additional failed or failing states" and stresses that "the United States must learn to rebuild states after overturning their regimes, or the whole enterprise will backfire."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
