Overview
In examining the incidence of state collapse, two centrai themes predominate, one concerned with the search for causalities and the other concerned with appropriate re~ sponses. There is often a misplaced tendency to look for single causes and explanations of state collapse, and similarly to propose single, ready-made solutions. Instead, a more nuanced scrutiny that differentiates the distinctive factors leading to coiiapse in specific instances offers most insights, and calis for a reconsideration of possible responses and approaches by external actors. Such anaiyses must be related to the broader discussion
