Beschreibung

FEDERALISM IMPERATIVE IN POST-CONFLICT AFRICA: THE CASE OF SOMALIA is a groundbreaking exploration of federalism in Somalia, the author delves deep into the complex tapestry of history, politics and culture that shapes the nation's governance structure. From the ashes of conflict emerges a critical question: Can federalism be the key to unlocking stability and fostering progress in this war-torn nation? This comprehensive analysis traces the evolution of federalism from its conceptual roots to its modern-day applications across the globe, before honing in on Somalia's unique context. Drawing on comparative studies of federal systems in established democracies, multinational states and post conflict societies, the author illuminates the potential and pitfalls of federalism in addressing Somalia's multifaceted challenges. Readers will gain insights into: The interplay between Somali culture, Islam and federal governance, factors shaping federalism's implementation, tools and instruments guiding Somalia's federal experiment, the impact of federalism on political, social and economic development. With unflinching clarity, the author exposes the weaknesses in Somalia's current federal system and proposes bold reforms. This work not only contributes to the academic discourse on federalism in post-conflict African contexts but also offers practical solutions for policymakers and stakeholders invested in Somalia's future. Whether you're a policy maker, a political scientist, a student of international relations or a concerned global citizen, this book provides an essential framework for understanding one of the most pressing governance challenges of our time. As Somalia stands at a crossroads, this timely analysis asks: Will federalism pave the way to peace and prosperity or will it deepen the fissures that have long divided the nation.
