States torn by violent conflicts such as civil wars may survive rather than collapse and disappear. The history of Lebanon from the civil war, Syria since 2011, and Iraq after the 2003 invasion explains why disintegration may be balanced by resilience. The volume questions assumptions about 'failed states' and states as they are commonly defined.
