Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Modern societies rarely collapse because solutions are unavailable.They collapse because decisions are deferred.In Avoidable Collapse, Allison Irene examines how institutional fragility emerges not through sudden shocks, but through prolonged delay-where political incentives, economic structures, and energy constraints interact to narrow governing capacity over time.Rather than focusing on moments of crisis, the book traces how capacity is gradually eroded: how dysfunction becomes normalized within institutionshow short-term stabilization displaces long-term planninghow delay itself evolves into a governing strategySituated within political economy and institutional analysis, Avoidable Collapse argues that breakdown is often foreseeable-and preventable-long before it appears inevitable.This is not a prediction of catastrophe. It is an examination of how constraint, delay, and diminished capacity converge to produce outcomes that later appear unavoidable. This item is printed on demand.
