This book investigates the case of “Somaliland”, the 20-year old non-recognized state which emerged from Somalia’s conflict and state collapse. A careful analysis of Somaliland’s political history, it outlines the complex and evolving institutional and power dynamics involving clan elders, militia leaders, guerrilla movements, as well as politicians and civil servants in its emerging state structures. While showing the great potential of endogenous processes, it clearly demonstrates the complexity and the politics of those processes and the necessity to think beyond one-size-fits-all state-building formulas.African social studies series ;v. 26.Nation-buildingSomaliland (Secessionist government, 1991- )Newly independent statesAfrica, NortheastSomaliland (Secessionist government, 1991- )Politics and governmentSomaliaPolitics and government1991-Nation-buildingNewly independent states967.73MI 56010rvkRenders Marleen1570777MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779089203321Consider Somaliland3844674UNINA
