Abstract: This paper elaborates the relations between the failed state and global conflict. The focus in this issue is how the state failed posed threat to human security. Failed state definitely poses a threat to human security. Such threats can be manifested in various forms, such as terrorism, endemic disease, civil war, and energy insecurity. Various forms of human threats that occur in a failed state, potentially spread to neighboring countries, so it can become the regional and global problems. The absence of legitimacy of the authority of state and government in failed states, becomes the key why problems arise in failed state. Interconnectivity in the globalization era causes the problems arising from the above mentioned failed states that may be implicated regionally and internationally. As a complement, the case of Somalia and Syria conflict can be an interesting example to illustrate the relations between the phenomenon of failed states and threats to human security.
