Abstract

This study aims to clarify the relationship between the subject of risks facing the state and society, according to the most prominent theory of (Olish Beck), and how the state develops its functions and roles according to the level of this risk, its types and awareness, or empowerment with its results. The researcher in this field presents an assumption that the state adopts to innovate solutions to the problems and risks it faces through the interaction of its institutions with the awareness of society in confronting risks.
The problem of the study was represented in its treatment of the various risks that societies are exposed to and knowing the reasons for the spread of risk and the emergence of the global risk element according to what Ulrich Beck came up with in an integrated theory called the World Risk Society, where his theory showed that the collection or gathering of these diverse and multiple manufactured, environmental and health risks constitutes what he called the global risk complex, which leads to the emergence of new types of risks that humans must confront or adapt to The research was based on the hypothesis that weak, failed, threatened or faltering states are those that face risks that increase in proportion to the degree of weakness, failure or faltering in the state, considering that the weak, faltering or failed state is the state that cannot control its territory Its government fails to make effective decisions, in addition to its inability to provide services to build its people and witness high rates of corruption and crime. The descriptive analytical approach was used to prove the hypothesis.
 One of the most important results that the researcher reached is that these risks, with their different classifications and levels, require that the traditional concept of the state (the state of protection, the state of intervention, or the state of the minimum) change and develop so that the state can adapt to confronting expected and unexpected risks and crystallize other concepts and roles for the state.
To be able to confront risks or adapt to their consequences and benefit from the models of such countries, approaching the concept of the innovative state capable of creating solutions compatible with risks.
