John Grieve: Failed states, Civilization and Transition

The number of failing and failed states is increasing all the time. According to theorists the state is the central core of civilization. I believe that the failing of so many states in this present post-modernist era is a sign that traditional civilization is undergoing a transition.

Hopefully this transition will lead to super-civilization and universal enlightenment. There is a danger however that it will lead to a universal fascism and chaotic world. There are other signs not connected to failing states, which also indicate that a transition is under way, such as same-sex marriage and the development of soft power.
