How States Die

Beschreibung

How States Die reconceptualizes the definitions of state and state death to reshape our understanding of why and how states die. By broadening the "state" to include "territorial contenders," which lack formal diplomatic recognition, Douglas Lemke challenges conventional wisdoms around state death, showing that state strength is not related to state death, and that victories in conflict do not coincide with longer state survival. The book provides an innovative way of thinking about state death, a phenomenon with massive consequences for the people of the affected state, its neighboring countries, and the international system as a whole.

Autor

Douglas Lemke is Professor of Political Science at Pennsylvania State University. He studies international relations with particular focus on the interaction of conflict and the development of states.

Professor Lemke earned his doctorate at Vanderbilt University, has held faculty positions at Florida State University, the University of Michigan, and Pennsylvania State University, and has mentored many undergraduate and graduate students. He has published 23 articles, 8 chapters, and 4 books, either as solo-authored works or collaborations with many co-authors.
