CONT

A crisis state is a state under acute stress, where reigning institutions face serious contestation and are potentially unable to manage conflict and shocks.(There is a danger of state collapse). This is not an absolute condition, but a condition at a given point of time, so a state can reach a “crisis condition” and recover from it, or can remain in crisis over relatively long periods of time, or a crisis state can unravel and collapse.

La fuite de son président, les révélations de corruption aux plus hautes sphères de l'État, les conséquences des politiques ultra-libérales dans les années 1990, l'emprise du Sentier lumineux sur une partie du territoire national ont fini de discréditer un système institutionnel péruvien embryonnaire.
