MANCERO, Anita y MUNERA, Oscar. Failed States: an insight from Geopolitics. URVIO [online]. 2018, n.22, pp.41-57. ISSN 1390-4299. https://doi.org/10.17141/urvio.22.2018.3081.
This article revises the theoretical and empirical implications regarding the concept of failed state, examining its relationship with the postulates proposed by classic as well as critical geopolitics. From classical geopolitics traditional elements such as State, territory and resources are revised, and the way they converge in the configuration and valuation of a failed State. From critical geopolitics, the failure or death of a state is not a simple process, but elements such as identity and culture should be taken into account. In the same way, the discourse, being an essential element in critical geopolitics, plays a central role in the process of categorization of this type of State. In conclusion: a holistic analysis of the phenomenon of failed States could contribute to a better understanding of it.
