Abstract

The existence of a large number of "weak states" is the main cause of all kinds of chaos in the world today. "The black hole of public administration" is the main reason for the formation of “weak states". The only way to rebuild the world order is to devote ourselves to the construction of the public administration system, to improve the governance capacity of "weak states", and to build a "strong state" paradigm based on a competent nation with a strong ruling system of law and a responsible government.

Keywords
