After all, the 9/11 attacks originated in an impoverished, war-ravaged country, and transnational crime appears to flourish in weakly governed states. However, our assumptions about the threats posed by failing states are based on anecdotal arguments, not on a systematic analysis of the connections between state failure and transnational security threats. Analyzing terrorism, transnational crime, WMDs, pandemic diseases, and energy insecurity, Stewart Patrick shows that while some global threats do emerge in fragile states, most of their weaknesses create misery only for their own citizenry. Moreover, many threats originate farther up the chain, in wealthier and more stable countries like Russia and Venezuela. Weak Links will force policymakers to rethink what they assume about state failure and transnational insecurity.Security, InternationalPolitical stabilityFailed statesWorld politics2005-2015Electronic books.Security, International.Political stability.Failed states.World politics355/.033Patrick Stewart889797MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458056503321Weak links1987916UNINA02681nam 2200685 a 450 991078289040332120161219111611.01-4129-2324-71-282-02097-897866120209711-84920-289-3(CKB)1000000000716291(EBL)420917(OCoLC)476254482(SSID)ssj0000482826(PQKBManifestationID)11296406(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000482826(PQKBWorkID)10528607(PQKB)11060339(MiAaPQ)EBC420917(OCoLC)320984073(StDuBDS)EDZ0000071606(Au-PeEL)EBL420917(CaPaEBR)ebr10285281(CaONFJC)MIL202097(OCoLC)224867509(FINmELB)ELB139385(EXLCZ)99100000000071629120120405d2005 fy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrThe Asperger love guide[electronic resource] a practical guide for adults with Asperger's syndrome to seeking, establishing and maintaining successful relationships /Genevieve Edmonds and Dean WortonLondon Paul Chapman20051 online resource (x, 77 p.) illLucky Duck BooksDescription based upon print version of record.1-4462-1310-2 1-4129-1910-X Includes bibliographical references and index.Cover; Copyright; About the authors; Contents; Foreword; Introduction; Chapter 1 - Asperger's Syndrome and Relationships: The Reality; Chapter 2 - You; Chapter 3 - Seeking and Finding Someone; Chapter 4 - Dating; Chapter 5 - Maintaining; Chapter 6 - The Long-term; Chapter 7 - Case-studies; Useful ContactsThe authors, both adults with Asperger's syndrome, share their advice and tips for romantic success.
