| Summary: | Thesis (M.A.)--Memorial University of Newfoundland, 2001. Political Science Bibliography: leaves 133-139. Failed and failing states are a growing concern throughout the world. These states leave the United Nations and the international community in the position of either helping or ignoring them. Unfortunately, when the UN has chosen to intervene, it has been unsuccessful in solving the state's long term problems. This thesis will examine two case studies of failed' interventions, Somalia and Haiti, and existing theoretical models in order to I) explore the strategies available to the UN to stop complex emergencies in failed states and then to reconstruct them, and 2) propose a new humanitarian intervention framework embodying these lessons.
