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. 410 0$aAfrican social studies series ;$vv. 26. 606 $aNation-building$zSomaliland (Secessionist government, 1991- ) 606 $aNewly independent states$zAfrica, Northeast 607 $aSomaliland (Secessionist government, 1991- )$xPolitics and government 607 $aSomalia$xPolitics and government$y1991- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNation-building 615 0$aNewly independent states 676 $a967.73 700 $aRenders$b Marleen$0956684 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457852403321 996 $aConsider Somaliland$92166415 997 $aUNINA
