Abstract:
How can structural aspects as well as agency be taken into consideration when analyzing states in dependent societies? The application of important critical approaches such as dependency theory and the state derivation debate as well as the mainstream discussion on failed states remains unsatisfactory. Therefore, an alternative critical approach is proposed which draws from regulation theory, gramscian ideas and the materialist state theory developed by Poulantzas. The value of such an approach is illustrated with regard to the Mexican transition towards neoliberalism and the transformation of the Mexican developmental state towards a competition state.

Abstract:
This Article uncovers a critical disjuncture in our system of providing affordable rental housing. At the federal level, the oldest, fiercest debate in low-income housing policy is between project-based and tenant-based subsidies: should the government help build new affordable housing projects or help renters afford homes on the private market? But at the state and local levels, it is as if this debate never took place. The federal government (following most experts) employs both strategies, embracing tenant-based assistance as more cost-effective and offering tenants greater choice and mobility. But this Article shows that state and local housing voucher programs are rare, small, and limited to special populations. States and cities almost exclusively provide project-based rental assistance. They move in lockstep despite disparate market conditions and political demands: project-based spending overwhelmingly predominates in both high- and lowrent markets and in both liberal and conservative states. States have done so across decades of increased spending. This uniform subnational approach suggests an unhealthy federalism—neither efficient nor experimental. This Article further diagnoses why states have made this unusual choice, identifying four primary culprits: (1) fiscally-constrained states use project-based models to minimize painful cuts during recessions; (2) incomplete federal housing subsidies inadvertently incentivize project-based spending; (3) the interest groups involved in financing and constructing affordable housing are relatively more powerful subnationally; and (4) rental assistance’s unusual, lottery-like nature elevates the value of visible spending over cost-effectiveness. Finally, this Article points the way toward reform, offering two paths forward. Taking a federalist perspective allows for a new understanding of federal housing statutes. Better cooperative models—expanding either the federal or state role in providing affordable housing—could accept states’ limitations in providing rental assistance and exploit their strengths.

Abstract:
The aim of the work Failed States in International Relations is the examination of this phenomenon regarding the terminological discrepancy, causes of the state fragility, security and social aspects and the various attitudes from the side of the international communities. A special part is dealing with so called "successfully failed states" where despite the obvious non-functioning the state is able to survive due to the revenues from the natural resources. The ?ndings are represented on the case study of the Democratic Republic of the Congo - a country with huge potential but miserable performance by now.

Abstract:
The submitted diploma thesis deals with failed states and tries to find out whether the Republic of Yemen can be classified as a failed state. First of all, the diploma thesis defines the term state and its functions, and then focuses on the terminology of weak statehood that has come into existence in the international politics. The thesis concentrates on the Failed States Index and analyzes its social, political and economic indicators. The theory is later applied on the case of Republic of Yemen.

Abstract:
<p>Through the increase in globalization over the last twenty years the world has become ’smaller’. The many positive aspects of the phenomenon sometimes make us overlook the negative aspects of globalization. Just as economic markets and communication has moved beyond national borders one of the most negative aspects of society has also become global, namely terrorism. As terrorism has moved on to the global spectrum so has the prevention of terrorism. National governments that are trying to combat terrorism have begun to realize that problems that other nations are facing in another continent could eventually affect their national security. Other nation states that are experiencing state failure may become a national security risk. The aim of this thesis is to examine if global terrorist organizations take advantage of the many problems that a nation faces when it is subject to state failure. It has not been to examine the phenomenon of global terrorism itself or why certain nation states fail. It has rather been to see if there is a connection between the two and if so, how do global terrorist organizations take advantage of these opportunities?</p><p>The most famous, or infamous, global terrorist organization al Qaeda has on many occasions used the fact that a state is experiencing failure to their advantage. Many of the more common problems that a failed state will face (loss of territorial control, disastrous domestic economy, and bad leadership) have been exploited by al Qaeda who have been able to build an effective infrastructure, build training cams and religious schools, and gain public support in two of the most troubled nations in the world; Afghanistan and Sudan.</p><p>The conclusion that can be drawn from this examination of the connection between global terrorism and failed states is that terrorist organizations have on several occasions taken advantage of the problems associated with state failure in order to become stronger and build a working infrastructure. It is, however, important to note that terrorism is very rarely the reason fore state failure. Furthermore, the fact that a sate is experiencing state failure does not automatically mean that it will be a breathing ground for global terrorism.</p>

Brown, Edmund Arthur. "Secession from failed states : ethical and practical issues with current approaches." Thesis, University of Leicester, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/41076.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis examines two threats to sovereignty: secession and state failure. It focuses on how the secession from failed states is approached, with particular concern for recognition and the associated ethical and practical issues. Many issues surrounding secession from failed states originated in the decolonisation era. However, the phenomenon began to become more prominent following the end of the Cold War, in part due to the fall of regimes supported by the superpowers. It is important to engage with these phenomena and their interrelationships as they have implications for sovereignty and state recognition, and in turn for the international system of states. Secession borne through state failure usually involves civil war perpetuated by a lack of central government control. This requires an approach from the international community that will settle grievances and ensure legitimate governance (whether in a unified or secessionist state, or both the secessionist and parent state) without leaving groups vulnerable or setting a precedent of secession that could undermine the international states system. The thesis examines attitudes within the international community towards secession and the concepts behind it and the ethical and practical issues involved, it then analyses the nature of state failure and its relationship with secession. It then examines two case studies of secession from failed states: South Sudan, and Somaliland. Generally, maintaining territorial integrity is favoured over allowing self-determination through recognising secession, except in situations where it is expedient, or a government is undermining its people’s rights (including that of self-determination). In cases of failed states, people’s security and basic human rights are neglected or subject to active persecution. The current anti-secessionist paradigm may therefore need to be altered in the context of state failure, since a failed state has less of a claim to sovereignty due to the absence of a legitimate government.

Abstract:
The article is dealing with state owned courts with utmost criti- cism. Contemporary states are predominantly burdened with enor- mous troubles; many are so called „failed states.“ The courts, being the state organs are tied to such states. Therefore, in „failed states“ there must be „failed courts.“ This pertains especially to Serbia and its courts, including Constitutional court. However, the logical consequence is that under existing system it is almost impossible to achieve any improvement with existing po- litical establishment. Yet, there are some proposals, all based on making some distance from State and politics. Truth and justice are too precious for the mankind to remain exclusivity of State due only to the physical power it possesses. The- refore, as much as possible involvement of experts and other people outside State and politics is necessary. However, for the judges the prime must be ethic criterion. Repetitive changes of regulations and some additional education of people who are in fact unacceptable for judiciary, are the wrong way that is leading only to further confusion and many other negative consequences.

Full text
Abstract:
Pipelines are aging: more than half of all pipelines in Europe and the United States are over 40 years old. Historically, only a small number of pipeline failures have been attributed to fatigue; however, as pipelines age, this might change. Indeed, two of the most serious pipelines failures in recent years in the United States were partly attributed to fatigue. The issue with fatigue is not so much how it should be addressed, but if or when, and where, it will become more of a problem. Historical failure data provides a valuable insight into the number and cause of failures that have been attributed to fatigue, and an indication of what might happen in the future. Historical failure data for onshore gas and liquid pipelines in the United States of America and Canada has been reviewed in order to estimate the number and cause of failures that can be attributed to fatigue; specifically, the OPS 30-day Incident Reports, the listing of pipeline rupture events compiled by the National Energy Board, and the findings of failure investigations conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB). Failures that can (at least partly) be attributed to fatigue are not readily identifiable in the historical data, because fatigue is not listed as a secondary cause (as it is, strictly, only a growth mechanism). The narrative descriptions in historical data sets, as in the OPS 30-day Incident Reports, and the detail in the Pipeline Investigation Reports or Accident Briefs published by the NTSB, and the Pipeline Investigation Reports published by the TSB are essential for identifying the relevant failures and their causes. Failures in pipelines that can be attributed to fatigue are relatively rare, but fatigue failures have been reported in both onshore gas and liquid pipelines in both the United States and Canada, mostly originating from pre-existing mechanical damage or manufacturing defects. Corrosion-fatigue has been identified as a contributing factor in a minority of the failures. The number of failures in liquid pipelines is (as would be expected) higher than that in gas pipelines. The number of failures in onshore liquid pipelines in the United States that can be attributed to fatigue has increased, with over half of such failures having occurred in the last ten years. The increase is statistically significant. There has also been an increase, albeit smaller and not statistically significant, in the number in onshore gas pipelines. The increase in the number of failures is consistent with an ageing system.

Full text
Abstract:
Line-narrowing spectroscopic techniques, such as site-selection spectroscopy (fluorescence line narrowing) and spectral hole burning, have, to our knowledge, so far failed to eliminate the effect of inhomogeneous broadening of optical transitions to the second and/or higher excited singlet electronic states (Soret absorption band) of porphin-type dyes in low temperature matrices, mainly due to: (1) Perturbations between different electronic states and resulting broadening of the homogeneous spectral bands [1], and (2) Increasing density of vibronic states with increasing transition energy and lack of correlation between individual states of different molecules. However, in a class of porphin derivatives - free-base and metallotetrabenzoporhines (TBP) - the former effects are substantially reduced. As a result, quasiline structure of S0-S2 transitions of ZnTBP in an Ar matrix [2], and later of ZnTBP in supersonic expansions [3] were observed. Further, fluorescence from S2 state of ZnTBP [2,4] and recently also of Zn-tetratolyl-TBP [5] and Zn-TPP [6] were reported.

Full text
Abstract:
Understanding of the risk and reliability of systems can be enhanced by modeling the grayscale degradation of the performance of components and determining the grayscale impact on the system performance. Rather than producing an estimate of the probability of the system being in either the working or the failed state, as more traditional risk and reliability modeling does, this approach produces estimates of the probability of the system being in any of a continuous range of states between fully working and completely failed. In this paper, earlier work is extended by exploring the cause of major differences between this new approach and traditional reliability analysis, as well as by developing sensitivity analysis for grayscale reliability. Because the coupling effect can cause significant differences between this approach and the traditional approach, the coupling effect of component degradation is explored through the examples of coupled and decoupled mass-spring-damper systems. Also, a new sensitivity measure for grayscale reliability is developed to determine how designers can trade changes in reliability with other design criteria such as cost.

Spinal fusion surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures used to alleviate lower back pain. It is estimated that between 200,000 and 300,000 spine fusion procedures performed each year in the United States [1]. There has been an increase of approximately 8% per year in the frequency of lumbar fusions in the United States since 1980 [2]. Spinal fusion is indicated for treatment of degenerative disk disease, degenerative joint disease, scoliosis, and isthmic and degenerative spondlylotisthesis when more conservative treatments have failed to achieve relief.

Full text
Abstract:
The secondary air-systems of a gas turbine engine frequently incorporate pipes and ducts to transport air for duties such as cooling and sealing of the turbine components, pressurisation of the aircraft cabin and component de-icing. The engine must be capable of operating safely in the event of failure of a pipe or duct. The ducts typically pass through the low pressure ventilation zones outboard of the core engine and failure will result in a large mass flow of relatively high temperature air escaping from the secondary air system; the design of the engine must accommodate this potential escape so that no component is over-pressurised or over-heated as a result. A novel device is presented that will limit the flow that escapes in the event of a pipe failure. This device has been developed from a number of flow elements from Fluidic technology applications. It has no moving parts and is thus suitable for use as a high-reliability failure protection device. The device consists of a Coanda diverter that can switch the flow through a vortex throttle so that the device has high and low resistance states. The diverter is conditioned to default to the low resistance state unless a control flow extracted from the device exceeds a critical value whereupon it will switch the device to a high resistance state. The level of the control flow is determined by the pressure ratio acting across the device. This is achieved by contrasting the flow characteristics of a metering orifice that determines the control flow with that of a diffuser fitted to the device outlet. The device has been shown to half the flow that escapes from a failed duct compared with an unrestricted duct of the same flow capacity. Experimental and numerical results are presented that show that the device is effective at the high pressure ratios pertaining to gas turbine operation. With suitable modification the device could be adapted to fulfill a number of other functions within a secondary air-system that require variation of flow resistance in response to a change in pressure ratio combined with the high reliability and robustness of a no-moving-parts device.

Abstract:
In December 2000, a 7” long axial crack was visually identified on the compressor rear frame of an LM2500 propulsion gas turbine engine aboard the USS MITSCHER (DDG 57). This was originally thought to be a unique failure mode possibly caused by misaligned brackets external to the engine imparting undo thermal stresses onto the engine casing and flange. Since that time, 17 additional engines in the Navy fleet have been identified with either the large axial crack on the compressor casing or a small craze crack on the CRF flange, which appears to be the origination point prior to crack propagation. This paper discusses the extent of the cracking problem in the US Navy, the engineering investigation undertaken by the OEM and Navy to determine the root cause of the cracks and development of a field repair strategy to mitigate the impact of these cracks. The focus of the paper includes metallurgical analysis of failed compressor rear frame hardware, vibratory evaluation of the engine’s external piping system as a contributory failure mode and results of strain gage testing of the mid flange region.

Abstract:
Twenty years passed now since the countries of the Central and East Europe (СEE) and the former Soviet Union (FSU) have begun the process of transformation from command to market economy and from one-party to a democratic rule. The transition process, at the beginning at least, started with very optimistic expectations in all countries. Transition is expected, as stated in the so-called ‘Washington Consensus’, create unprecedented growth and development. No one could envision failure and traps stuck the development and democracy. After 20 years, the transition economies clustered into different clusters and several development patterns have arisen along with countries that are trapped into almost no development. Among the clusters Turkic states of the Central Asia forms a unique cluster. This study makes a comprehensive attempt to analyze the development patters that have arisen along the way 20-year long. Experiences of 20 years are placed under the microscope to identify successes and failures with regards to both, theory and policy. We set a benchmark for success and successful transition and determine the key factors that have led to success or failure. In the light of the global crises, it easier to identify shortcomings of transition. Major conclusion arising from the study is that the original concept of the ‘Washington Consensus’ has failed to fulfill expectations of growth and development, the state of the art seems to be confusion.

Abstract:
Multiple development actors are interested in stimulating more inclusive fiscal governance. Efforts to generate greater budget transparency, citizen participation in resource allocation, and public oversight of government spending are commonplace. How can development donors and lenders support such efforts, and what are their limitations? How do their attempts to do so interact? Exploring the outcomes of two projects in the Nigerian States of Jigawa and Kaduna provide some answers to these questions. The projects pursue overlapping goals, but with different approaches. The Partnership to Engage, Reform and Learn (PERL) programme funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth &amp; Development Office works in a granular and contextually adapted way in each state to construct joint government and civil initiatives that test and embed citizen engagement and oversight approaches. The World Bank States Financial Transparency Accountability and Sustainability (SFTAS) initiative offers financial incentives to states if they meet a set of common public financial management benchmarks. Their actions have been complementary in several ways, despite significant contextual differences between the states in terms of conflict dynamics and prevailing citizen–state relations. The projects also reinforced each other’s efforts on public procurement reform in Kaduna State. However, in Jigawa State, SFTAS incentives to pass a procurement law following a standard template failed to codify and may indeed reverse gains from longstanding PERL efforts supporting transparency. This illustrates how donors with similar reform objectives in the same contexts can unconsciously undermine existing efforts towards overarching public accountability goals.

Abstract:
Almost two decades after the beginning of the Chilean and English experiments in power sector reform and privatization, many other countries have adopted or are in the process of adopting a model that promotes competition in the wholesale power market that is based partly on the pioneering efforts of those two countries. Some countries which adopted the English model but whose systems are dominated by hydroelectric power found themselves constrained by a structure that did not apply to their particular situations. And now, England and Chile are themselves radically revising their power trading arrangements. This paper attempts to answer the questions: Does this mean that their systems failed and that the countries that adopted them should go on the alert and adjust their models?; Or does it mean that the experiment failed and that the opponents of reform and those who maintained that it was impossible to mount a competitive model in the wholesale electricity market were right? This paper looks at the structure of the power markets (first-generation and second-generation reforms) in Chile, England/Wales, Argentina, Norway, Colombia, Australia, the United States and Spain.
