Democratic government is key to preventing state failure—the collapse of a central state’s ability to
maintain political order outside the capital city.19 Multiple Stanford meta analysis studies find that state
failure results in wars among the oppressed region, and the oppressing region and is typified by the
experiences of Somalia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Bosnia, and Afghanistan in the 1 990s. A comprehensive
analysis of 75 potential predictors of state failure from 1955 to 1996 found that lack of democracy was
the most important way to prevent wars.20 (The two others were material well being as measured by
infant mortality rates and the level of trade.) In other words, the stronger a country’s democratic
institutions, the lower the likelihood that it will become a failed state.
