FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Why has Somaliland not followed Somalia into state collapse?When does a country become a state? On 18 May 1991, the leaders of the Somali National Movement and the elders of northern Somali clans proclaimed that they were setting up the new Republic of Somaliland.Why has Somalilandnot followed Somalia into state collapse? Over the past fifteen years the people of Somaliland have peacefully and successfully managed a process of reconciliation, demobilisation, the restoration of law and order, economic recovery and reconstruction.Why has Somaliland yet to be recognised by the international community? The international system purports to promote good governance in Africa. Somaliland has had one of the most free series ofelections in the region. Yet this new republic still has no international legal status, while Somalia, which has had no effective government since 1990, is still accorded de jure sovereignty.Should a unitary government be re-established for all of Somalia? Since the collapse of the Somali state international diplomacy has supported fourteen peace conferences, each focusing on re-establishing Somalia as a whole. Yet it is Somaliland which challenges the typical image of war, disaster and social regression associated with this part of Africa since the 1990s.MARK BRADBURY is a development consultant who has worked extensively in North East AfricaPublished in association with Progressio; North America: Indiana U Press; South Africa: Jacana; Uganda: Fountain Publishers Author Biography Mark Bradbury is a development consultant who has worked extensively in North East Africa Table of Contents Introduction; The Somali people & culture; The rise & fall of the state of Somalia; The political foundations of Somaliland; A new Somaliland; State building & the long transition; Rising from the ashes: economic rebuilding & development; Social developments; Democratic transitions; The practice of government; Conclusions: rethinking the future; Appendix 1: Primary Isaaq lineages; Appendix 2: Somali clan-families; References; Index.
