Focusing on the phenomenon of warlordism, the book explores its emergence as a significant security threat in post-Cold War Africa and Asia, tracing its historical roots back to the fall of the Roman Empire. It argues that the imposition of European nation-states through colonialism and decolonization contributes to the rise of warlords in weak states. By comparing historical and modern warlords and analyzing their domains, the work uses Afghanistan as a case study to validate its theories on the international system's role in fostering warlordism.
