Abstract

State Fragility as a Motive for the Presence of Non-state Actors in Contemporary World Politics State Fragility means more presence of non-state actors and their strength means weakness and less presence of non-state actors in world politics. Hence, this inverse relationship between state fragility and non-state actors becomes the main focus of our research and we try to answer the question: How does state fragility cause the greater presence of non-state actors in contemporary world politics? Based on the theoretical literature available in the field of world politics, and the literature on the relationship between non-state actors and fragile states, and in order to answer our main research question, we assume that all countries, whether developed or developing or underdeveloped, suffer from fragility, and this fragility is a factor in the effective presence of non-state actors in contemporary world politics. In our efforts to justify our hypothesis and answer our main research question, we use state fragility as an analytical concept and as a tool to approach the subject. This requires defining the concept of state fragility and explaining what we mean and then showing how state fragility contributes to the presence of non-state actors and their increasing role in contemporary world politics. Therefore, we divide our research into two main themes: the first theme is devoted to the concept of state fragility and the second theme is devoted to the relationship between state fragility and the presence of non-state actors in world politics.
