At least that is how it is usually portrayed. Getting Somalia Wrong?, the first comprehensive account of the chaos engulfing much of the country, shows that this 'failed state' is far from being a failed society, as alternative forms of business, justice and local politics still flourish. As Mary Harper argues, until the international community starts to 'get it right', the consequences will be devastating. 410 0$aAfrican arguments. 606 $aPolitics & government$2bicssc 607 $aSomalia$xHistory$y1991- 607 $aSomalia$xPolitics and government$y1991- 607 $aSomalia$xSocial conditions$y1960- 615 7$aPolitics & government 676 $a967.7305/3 700 $aHarper$b Mary$f1965-$01609263 712 02$aInternational African Institute. 712 02$aRoyal African Society. 712 02$aSocial Science Research Council (U.S.) 801 0$bEBLCP 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826829603321 996 $aGetting Somalia wrong$93936417 997 $aUNINA
