The Horn of Africa since the 1960s: Local and International Politics Intertwined: Contemporary African Politics

Editat de Aleksi Ylönen, Jan Záhořík
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 dec 2019
The Horn of Africa has long been one of the most dynamic and politically turbulent sub-regions on the African continent. Host to great ancient civilizations, diverse peoples, and expansive states, the region has experienced massive social, economic, and political transformations which have given rise to military coups, revolutions and intractable ethnic, socio-economic, and religious conflicts.


This comprehensive volume brings together a team of expert scholars who analyze international, regional, national, and local affairs in the Horn of Africa. The chapters demonstrate the intertwined nature of the actors and forces shaping political realities. The case studies, focusing on Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Somaliland, Sudan, and South Sudan eloquently illustrate the complex dynamics connecting the spectrum of political issues in the region.


The Horn of Africa since the 1960s will be of interest to students and scholars of contemporary Africa and political science.

Recenzii

"The Horn of Africa since the 1960s is an example of a thoroughly successful attempt to present the contemporary situation in the region based on solid historical analyses. The authors make an effort to put the discussed problems in the longue durée perspective, even though the title of the book suggests that the time perspective is restricted to the second half of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century."
Hanna Rubinkowska-Aniol, Studies of the Department of African Languages and Cultures
