Title: A Savage Order Pdf How the World's Deadliest Countries Can Forge a Path to Security
The most violent places in the world today are not at war. More people have died in Mexico in recent years than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. These parts of the world are instead buckling under a maelstrom of gangs, organized crime, political conflict, corruption, and state brutality. Such devastating violence can feel hopeless, yet some places - from Colombia to the Republic of Georgia - have been able to recover.
In this powerfully argued and urgent book, Rachel Kleinfeld examines why some democracies, including our own, are crippled by extreme violence and how they can regain security. Drawing on fifteen years of study and firsthand field research - interviewing generals, former guerrillas, activists, politicians, mobsters, and law enforcement in countries around the world - Kleinfeld tells the stories of societies that successfully fought seemingly ingrained violence and offers penetrating conclusions about what must be done to build governments that are able to protect the lives of their citizens.
Taking on existing literature and popular theories about war, crime, and foreign intervention, A Savage Order is a blistering yet inspiring investigation into what makes some countries peaceful and others war zones, and a blueprint for what we can do to help.
Timely and Vital Analysis A Savage Order by Rachel Kleinfeld addresses the question of how a failed state, one that has become decivilized, can change course and come to serve its citizens with order, justice and equity. She has done an extraordinarily thorough job of research and synthesis. Her case histories range from the complex history of racial injustice here in the United States including slavery, reconstruction, the rise of Jim Crow, lynching and progress toward racial equality; to Colombia, decivilized through drug corruption and a civil war, with particular emphasis on three cities - Bogota, Medellin, and Cali; to the Republic of Georgia, struggling after the fall of the Soviet Union; to Italy and the Mafia in Sicily and Naples; to comparing the histories of neighboring Bithar and Jharkha and in India; to Mexico's drug related corruption and violence; and to comparing the situations in the neighboring African states of Ghana and Nigeria. In each case, Dr. Kleinfeld has gone to the countries, interviewed many of the principal politicians, researchers, activists, and journalists, as well as exhaustively analyzing the relevant research .The poor, in particular, are powerless against extortion, intimidation and murder by gangs and their cronies in government. Her examples detail the messy and complex realities and point to the difficulty of finding a quick fix to intractable and deeply seated inequities that have resulted in cultures with years of endemic violence perpetrated by the privileged few upon the many.One key to forging a path to security is development and empowerment of a middle class. Another is the creation of a government powerful enough to curb extra-governmental violence be free from corruption. She makes it clear that the path to such a balance often requires compromise, even dirty deals between a nascent responsible government and the criminal and paramilitary groups who are often in corrupt league with the prior government.There is a detailed discussion of the RICO laws and how similar reasoning might be used to develop other tools such as financial regulations that address money laundering which is exemplified by cash real estate transactions in major centers such as London and Miami. She even suggests the possible efficacy of denying admission to top universities for the children of the worst offenders.The amount and scope of the research is astounding, much of it done on location. This is evidence based analysis of a very high order. The notes and bibliography are extensive and provide ample evidence for her conclusions and direct the reader to a trove of material for further exploration of this vital topic. If you have any interest in the rule of law, do yourself a favor and please read this important and excellent book.Brilliant Brilliant and is jaw dropping-ly good, on!y bought this by chance after listening to a Michael Shermer (skeptic) podcast. My understanding of violence and politics increased exponentially, Rachel Kleinfeld is thorough and clear with her propositions and declarations.
