- Summary:
-
"This book critically examines the concepts of weak and strong states within a state-in-society approach. The empirical studies focus on Southeast Asia and Melanesia, areas with a wide variety of states and societies, from the seemingly strong states of Indonesia, Singapore, and Vietnam to the apparently weak states of Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu."--BOOK JACKET. "They analyse why so many states stay intact despite poor services and internal disorder, why seemingly strong states can be strikingly weak in particular areas or at certain times, and why apparently weak states are sometimes remarkably resilient."--BOOK JACKET.
