Failed state:
Is a state that is unable to perform the two fundamental functions of the sovereign nation-state in the modern world system:
1. It cannot project authority over its territory and peoples.
2. It cannot protect its national boundaries. The governing capacity of a failed state is attenuated such that it is unable to fulfill the administrative and organizational tasks required to control people and resources and can provide only minimal public services. Its citizens no longer believe that their government is legitimate, and the state becomes illegitimate in the eyes of the international community.
A failed state is composed of feeble and flawed institutions. Often: The executive barely functions, the legislature, judiciary, bureaucracy, and armed forces have lost their capacity and professional independence.
A failed state suffers from;
1. Crumbling infrastructures.
2. Faltering utility supplies and educational and health facilities, and deteriorating basic human-development indicators, such as infant mortality and literacy rates.
3. Failed states create an environment of flourishing corruption and negative growth rates, where honest economic activity cannot flourish.
