The phenomenon of trade in livelihood with a view on powerless government/freedom.
- A failed state is a government that does not have the ability to perform its duties as a government. Such a government is unable to establish social order, to monopolize the use of violence, to satisfy the basic needs of society's members, to establish security and the rule of law, and some of its functions are performed by other institutions or are not performed at all in society.
If we take into account the high point in which is the demise of the government institution in Somalia in the early 1990s, when the government disappeared completely and the establishment of the basic order of society fell into the hands of whoever had a gun, the other side of the rainbow is a government that manages all the affairs of its society completely in order, justice and law (which of course there has not been such a government up to now). Each of them is unable to establish part of the order in his society.
For example, the government of the United States of America, by its own admission, has problems in protecting its borders or in the production and supply of drugs, the government of Afghanistan cannot control its borders and ensure the livelihood and health of its citizens, or the government of Syria has only controlled part of its territory for years. As a result, it can be assumed that all governments are incompetent in some way and perspective. However, it has strengths and weaknesses, and a government may be stronger in the fight against organized crime and weaker in social security.
Using these glasses it is possible to study the phenomenon of subsistence smuggling (such as Colbert and fuel smuggling). First, the use of smuggling is to show the entry or exit of goods from international borders without going through legal formalities, which are different in each society; Second, subsistence use means its necessity to provide a livelihood for people, not necessarily smuggling for specific purposes. As a result, a Colbert or Delkane may work for a living, but also make a profit for a gang of smugglers. This text does not investigate the phenomenon of trafficking for that gang and only investigates trafficking for a living.
