Two Generations, Two Interventions in One of the World's Most-Failed States: The United States, Kenya and Ethiopia in Somalia
In 1992, more than 25,000 United States forces landed in Somalia as part of a 37,000-strong United Nations Task Force (UNITAF) operation. In 2011, a combined total of 8000+ Kenyan and Ethiopian forces were ordered into Somalia. This article demonstrates that American soldiers were deployed to Somalia in the early days of a post-Cold War world, largely as a foreign policy experiment about how to deal with the threats 'small states' posed in a new …
Why Deploy to Somalia? Understanding Six African Countries’ Reasons for Sending Soldiers to One of the World’s Most Failed States
In 2007, African Union soldiers deployed to Somalia with the blessing of the United Nations Security Council, ostensibly on a peacekeeping mission. Today, six African countries have a combined total of approximately 21,564 combat troops on the ground as part of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). These soldiers have paid a heavy price. Since AMISOM military forces first arrived in Somalia, perhaps as many as 3,000 have been killed ther…
Africa's Intoxicating Beer Markets
African beer markets are increasingly being commercialized. Select brewers are going to extraordinary lengths to attract new customers on the continent. Economic and business "life cycle" models usually indicate that this can only go on for a finite period, that industries, companies, and products, just like organisms, must move through stages of emergence and maturity to inevitable decline. Such expectations may be too rigid in the African conte…
Where Somalia works
Somalia is not entirely dysfunctional. Indeed, select parts of the Somali economic, social and political landscape work quite well. Ironically, where the country works best also reflects some of what is most wrong
Lessons in successful Somali governance
‘Somalia’ is often portrayed as the quintessential ungovernable, failed state – with pirates, terrorists and humanitarian crises as a consequence. This article tells how Somalis in Somaliland and Puntland today have realised a degree of successful governance in the Horn of Africa
Introduction: The myth of 'Somalia
A myth can either be a false belief or an idealised conception. This introduction demonstrates why ‘Somalia’ is both

The mobile phone holds the promise of being a tool for widespread, sustained economic development from the grassroots level up

The Rise of Liberal Economics in South Africa
BETWEEN 21 AND 28 MAY 2000, THABO MBEKI paid his first visit to the United States since his election as president of South African. Though he stressed the many positive dimensions of United States-South Africa bilateral relations, he lamented the absence of foreign investment in Africa, where 'wars, military coups, and instability within countries cannot but contribute to the dampening of investors' appetites.'(f.1) In particular, he stressed glo…
