Somalia is often used as an emblem of a collapsed state. This is somewhat of a paradox given that in previous decades the country was one of the most unified states in Africa and one of the first democracies on the continent. In the last three decades however the country has faced enormous challenges including civil wars and extremism in the name of Islam.The book - probably one of the first to link Islam, Islamism and Transitional Justice with the Somali State recovery project - offers unique analyses of these themes and argues that recovering the Somali state will largely be contingent upon the skillful reconciliation between tradition and modernity, Islam and state and between the secular and the sacred.

In the last three decades, Somalia has been associated with such horrible terms as 'state collapse', 'civil wars', 'foreign intervention', 'warlordism', 'famine', 'piracy' and 'terrorism'. This depiction was in contradiction to its earlier images as the cradle of the human race, the kernel of ancient civilizations, the land of Punt, a homogeneous nation-state and the first democratic state in Africa. So how did things fall apart in the country? This Volume 1 of a two-volume narrative, Dr. Abdullahi explores the history of the people of Somali peninsula since ancient times, the advent of Islam and colonialism, the rise and fall of Somali nationalism and the perspectives of the Somali state collapse. The book uses a unique thematic approach and analysis to make sense of Somali history by emphasizing the responsibility of Somali political elites in creating and perpetuating the disastrous conditions in their country.

The Best Recovery is about the long history, different times, and experiences that the author has been through in Somalia and in England. The author explains how different events developed over a long period of time as well as the upheaval that the Somali people have been subjected to due to the longstanding conflict, dictatorship and the bad leadership that paralysed the real existence of the Somali people. The author explains how he became one of the people who was severely affected by the upheaval and the adverse situations he had to face as a refugee in the United Kingdom where he developed and sought help for mental health issues. He almost lost hope after a long struggle, but with the dedicated help of medical professionals he managed to turn his life around.

The study reviews the recent history of public finance mismanagement and its adverse impact on Somalia, drawing upon five decades of economic and financial mismanagement in the country. A principal thesis of the study is that, while decades-long poor sociopolitical governance and multiple other factors contributed to the implosion of the Somali central state, a crisis in financial and economic management-in particular, endemic misuse of public resoruces-is a root cause of the state collapse and a principal challenge facing national recovery. This crisis, manifested in practically non-existent financial integrity institutions, keeps the country insecure and unstable.

In the lead theme, we focus on Somalia, a failed state, posing a number of fundamental questions: why did Somalia fail as a state? Should the failed state be reconstituted as one nation or should different nations be allowed to emerge from the ashes of the collapsed state? What are the challenges facing the state reconstitution efforts? And what are the implications of all these for the current democracy and development projects in Africa? Abdinur S. Mohamud, an education consultant with the Ohio Department of Education, Columbus, Ohio, USA, and Abdi M. Kusow, a lecturer in political sociology at Oakland University in Michigan, trace the history of the failure of the state in Somalia, arguing that "the dissolution of the nation-state in Somalia had its roots in the conflict between Ethiopia and Somalia which started during the early years of Islam in the Horn." Mohamed H. Mukhtar, a Somali Professor of African and Middle Eastern History at Savannah State University Savannah, Georgia, U.S.A. discusses the various conferences to reconcile the various warring factions, clans and warlords in the Somali imbroglio, noting that most of the conferences adopted same modus operandi, with each starting with great expectations and hopes but eventually achieving very little, if anything at all Abdurahman Moallim Abdullahi (Badiyow), a peace activist, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Mogadishu University, discusses the role of the Islamic factor in recovering the Somali state, noting that although officially the Somali state collapsed on July 1 1991, "scholars of Somalia disagree on what it was that really collapsed in Somalia in 1991," making the challenge of reconstituting the state even more arduous. Abdulkadir Osman Farah of the Centre for Development and International Relations, Aalborg University Denmark, discusses the political options for Somalia, noting that three main groups compete for political power in Somalia - an alliance of traditional pastoralists and Islamic groups, the merchants and the predatory political and military warlords. He favours an alliance of traditional pastoralists and "Islamic components" because they enjoy relatively high level of "popular legitimacy as they are endogenously rooted and capable of organising Somalis through clan and religious lines." Abdulahi A. Osman of the Department of International Affairs, University of Georgia, examines the role played by inequality, ethnicity and clanism in fuelling the Somali conflict and concludes that the "conflicts in Africa in general, and Somalia in particular resulted primarily from inequality that began during colonial era and continues after colonialism." Gerrie Swart, Research Associate with the Unit for African Studies at the Centre for International Political Studies at the University of Pretoria, South Africa, argues that the conflict in Somalia has not really been effectively addressed, and that the peace process exists only in name. Issaka K. Souare, Contributing Editor to this Journal and a PhD candidate at Universite du Quebec a Montreal, Canada, revisits the United Nations interventions in Somalia in 1992-95 following the overthrow of the Siad Barre regime and the fratricidal war. Franco Henwood, a London-based independent human rights commentator and analyst, makes a case for the international recognition of Somaliland as a sovereign nation. Besides, the lead theme, we also brought together a number of very topical articles - from Professor Ali Mazrui's report of his recent visit to Uganda to Professor Kwesi Prah's vision of Afro-Arab geopolitical relations.

State failure takes many forms. Somalia offers one extreme. The country's prolonged civil war led to the collapse of central authority, with state control devolving to warlord-led factions that competed for the spoils of local commerce, political power, and international aid. Malawi, on the other hand, is at the other end of the scale. During President Bingu's second term in office, the country's economy collapsed as a result of poor policies and Bingu's brand of personal politics. On the surface, Malawi's economy seemed largely stable; underneath, however, the polity was fractured and the economy broken. In between these two extremes of state failure are all manner of examples, many of which Mills explores in the fascinating and profoundly personal Why States Recover. Throughout he returns to his key questions: how do countries recover? What roles should both insiders and outsiders play to aid that process? Drawing on research in more than thirty countries, and incorporating interviews with a dozen leaders, Mills examines state failure and identifies instances of recovery in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. For anyone interested in the reasons behind states' failure, and remedies to ensure future economic stability, it is important reading.

This book illustrates how diasporic media can re-create conflict by transporting conflict dynamics and manifesting them back in to diaspora communities. Media, Diaspora and Conflict demonstrates a previously overlooked complexity in diasporic media by using the Somali conflict as a case study to indicate how the media explores conflict in respective homelands, in addition to revealing its participatory role in transnationalising conflicts. By illustrating the familiar narratives associated with diasporic media and utilising a combination of Somali websites and television, focus groups with diaspora community members and interviews with journalists and producers, the potentials and restrictions of diasporic media and how it relates to homelands in conflict are explored.
