Resumen de Washington's weak-state agenda

James A. Schear

• The author responds to the essay "The Rise and Fall of the Failed-State Paradigm" by Michael Mazarr, which appeared in the January/February 2014 issue. It considers U.S. foreign policy in the Post-Cold War period, particularly in weak states, citing examples such as the U.S. response to political unrest in Haiti in the early 1990s, the 1990 invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, and the Yugoslav War.
