Conventional wisdom among policymakers in both the US and Europe holds that weak and failing states are the source of the world's most pressing security threats today. However, as this book shows, our assumptions about the threats posed by failed and failing states are based on false premises.

Americans have long been protective of their country's sovereingty - all the way back to George Washington, who admonished his successors to avoid 'permanent' alliances with foreign powers. Throughout its history, the United States has faced periodic, often heated, debates about how to maintain that sovereignty, and whether it is endangered when the nation enters into international treaties and alliances about which Washington warned. As the 2016 election made clear, sovereignty is also one of the most frequently invoked, polemical, and misunderstood concepts in politics - particularly American politics. The concept wields symbolic power, implying something sacred and inalienable : the right of the people to control their fate without subordination to outside authorities. Given its emotional pull, however, the concept is easily hijacked by political opportunists. By playing the sovereignty card, they can curtail more reasoned debates over the merits of proposed international commitments by portraying supporters of global treaties or organizaitons as enemies of motherhood and apple pie.
