本文提出了一个理论上的接地和方法上严格的概念化的国家崩溃。它试图克服对脆弱、失败和崩溃国家的研究的几个关键缺陷，这些研究经常被批评为规范上有问题和方法上有缺陷。我们认为，这是一个值得研究的课题，但学术研究需要变得更加系统，并专注于国家崩溃的极端情况。遵循韦伯制度主义的传统，我们将国家分解为国家能力的三个维度：制定和执行具有约束力的规则，垄断暴力手段和征税。然后，我们提出了一套指标，以及一个基于必要和充分条件的聚合模式。我们的框架确定了后殖民时代国家崩溃的17个案例。
This paper proposes a theoretically grounded and methodologically rigorous conceptualisation of state collapse. It seeks to overcome several key deficits of research into fragile, failed and collapsed states, which is often criticised as normatively problematic and methodologically deficient. We argue that this is a worthwhile topic to study but that scholarly inquiry needs to become more systematic and focus on extreme cases of state collapse. Following a Weberian institutionalist tradition, we disaggregate statehood into three dimensions of state capacity: making and enforcing binding rules, monopolising the means of violence and collecting taxes. We then propose a set of indicators as well as a mode of aggregation based on necessary and sufficient conditions. Our framework identifies 17 cases of state collapse in the postcolonial era.
