The Horn of Africa is one of the most dynamic and politically turbulent sub-regions on the African continent.

This volume consists of chapters by expert African and international scholars that analyze international, regional, national, and local affairs in the sub-region, which demonstrate the intertwined nature of actors and forces shaping political realities. Contributions include case studies of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Somaliland, Sudan, and South Sudan that illustrate the dynamics connecting a spectrum of political issues.
