Collapsed States: The Disintegration and Restoration of Legitimate Authority
The authors address the problem of collapsed states a phenomenon that goes far beyond rebellion or the change of regimes to involve the literal implosion of structures of authority and legitimacy by comparatively examining eleven African cases and also assessing the potential strengths and weaknesses of various responses (e.g. democratization, foreign intervention) to impending state collapse.

Formation and recognition of new states: Somaliland in contrast to Eritrea
‘Somaliland’ has reasserted the separate existence it had as the colony of British Somaliland before independence and union with the former Italian Somalia in 1960. It has avoided the the devastation of warlordism that has afflicted the rest of Somalia through compromise politics between clan elders. However, its de facto statehood since 1991 has not received the international recognition accorded Eritrea in 1993. The experiences of Somaliland an…

The Political Economy of Ethiopia
Somalia: Militarism, warlordism or democracy
Somali politics have traditionally been structured in terms of the clan system which organises agro‐pastoral society. These clan‐based alignments have provided the lines of conflict along which struggles for recognition — for status and prestige but also, and significantly, for social justice and equality — have been fought. Under conditions of dependent capitalism and uneven class formation, clan consciousness takes on a trade union aspect, in d…
The End of Apartheid: The Federalization of South Africa
On March 17, 1992, a surprising 68.7% of South Africa's whites supported a referendum calling for a negotiated abolition of their minority rule. Such rational foresight in a seemingly irrational racial atmosphere has been universally hailed as unprecedented. The same Afrikaner National Party (NP) that a few years ago presided over the implementation of Apartheid in defiance of the world now acts as a democratic reformer with the support of two th…

Israel and South Africa: Conflict Resolution in Ethnic States
The pictures are strikingly similar: stone-throwing, street barricades, army reprisals, consumer boycotts, school closures, press censorship, permanent emergencies. Perceptive friends of Israel warn that turning Israel into another South Africa will be a moral victory for the Palestinians. Continued control over the West Bank and Gaza, writes Shlomo Avineri, “means continued oppression of a million-and-a-half Palestinians and a slow ‘South Africa…
Variations of Ethnicity: Afrikaner and Black Nationalism in South Africa
Among all recent nationalist movements, the success of Afrikanerdom stands out as a classical example of effective and enduring ethnic mobilization. Against many odds, a severely disadvantaged farming group managed to capture state power in 1948 and consolidate its grip over an expanding military-industrial complex ever since. The obvious question arises as to whether blacks in the 1980's can emulate the example of their dominators. Can a black c…
South Africa's Search for Legitimacy
By the standard of popular approval, the South African state has no legitimacy, since only whites are enfranchised and blacks are being denationalized. This institutionalized politicization of ethnicity increasingly erodes the efficiency of private and state institutions alike. Enforced ethnic identities without representative leadership undermine proposed liberal arrangements of negotiated power-sharing as well as the government policy of coopta…
