The term "failed state" rose to the public attention throughout the
‘90s to describe some states whose "authority, (legitimate power), law,
and political order have fallen apart"1. As being potentially the breeding
ground for "terrorism, narcotics trade, weapons proliferation, and other
forms of organized crime", failed states entered in Western countries" security
agendas and academic interests too2. The debate largely politicized
and became massively policy-oriented as the research alternatively proposed
the Weberian-style liberal democracy as a panacea to fix failed
states, or refused it, considering state failure justification for "intrusive
policies" in Third World countries3
