Document Summary
Group work - need to come up with a topic. Key concepts in paul"s warrior state theory. Distinction made on page 9 of warrior state. Internal security, have control over all of their territory, has a sufficient military, can provide public goods (such as education, healthcare, national defense), capable to tax the nation. Often have violence, don"t have control over their territory, don"t have a sufficient military, can"t provide public goods or can"t do it well, Come from realpolitik school of thought: sees threats, so see the need to pursue a military-first problem solving mindsight. Location is central for a lot of world conflicts. War making and state making went hand in hand: building military spurred nationalism and required a state : building the army made a stronger state. Pakistan: put money and resources into military - not development.
