Description:What causes order out of disorder? How can states that have failed, be reconstituted? What causes the emergence and success of Islamic movements in these failed states? This dissertation offers a political economy explanation of state formation out of collapse. Looking at two classic cases of state failure – Afghanistan and Somalia – it presents an endogenous process of social and political transformation that led to the emergence of weak, but centralized Islamist regimes. This dissertation lays out two specific causal processes of Islamic state formation out of collapse: first, a long-term phenomenon of Islamic identity transformation within the business community, as a mechanism to reduce transaction costs and improve access to markets; and second, a short-term strategic calculation of the cost of operating under warlord protection rackets versus the cost of financing a political alternative. Based on original qualitative and quantitative field research from Somalia, Kenya, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates, the research examines the economic drivers of Islamism in failed states, and proposes alternative paths to state-building.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
