Seller's Description:
Very good. No dust jacket as issued. 92 p. Glossary. Map. Table. Notes. Adelphi Papers, 364. This work explores somalia's state collapse and the security threats posed by somalia's prolonged crisis. communities are reduced to lawlessness, and the interests of commercial elites have shifted towards rule of law, but not a revived central state. terrorists have found somalia inhospitable, using it mainly for short-term trans-shipment. Close analysis of how non-state actors adapt to state collapse is critical for effective strategies of peace building, development, and counter-terrorism in those crises. In Somalia, the nature of state collapse has changed significantly since 1995. Armed conflict is more localized; lawlessness is better contained by local authorities; and warlords have been weakened by an emerging commercial elite whose interests lie in stability, not plunder. Risk-aversion drives political behaviour and partially explains the reluctance of local elites to support a revived central government. Somalia has to date not been particularly attractive as a safe haven for terrorists due to the risk of betrayal and extortion foreigners face there. Instead, terrorist networks have used Somalia principally as a short-term transshipment site into Kenya. Efforts to revive a central state in Somalia risk creating a "paper state"-one which lacks a capacity to govern and is prone to police corruption, providing an environment in which terrorist networks thrive.
