About the Author: Jeffrey Herbst is president of Colgate University..
The final chapter on policy prescriptions has also been revised to reflect the evolution of African and international responses to state failure.

In States and Power in Africa, Jeffrey Herbst places the African state-building process in a truly Comparative perspective.
There, the interaction of Power and space is dramatically different from what occurred in Europe.
