The first contribution to Global Flashpoints: A Scarecrow Press
Series, Christopher Daniels' Somali Piracy and Terrorism in the
Horn of Africa provides readers with a comprehensive and in-depth
analysis of the spate of piracy and terrorism plaguing the waters
of Somalia and the global threat posed by this activity. Contesting
the commonly held perception that the piracy and terrorism
occurring in Somalia are two separate and unrelated activities,
Daniels reveals how the collapse of the Somali state and the chaos
that has ensued created the environment for piracy and terrorism to
flourish in combination. He also notes how the failure to restore a
functioning central government has allowed both to become dangerous
threats not only to the people of Somalia but the entire world.
Underscoring Somalia's dire state, Somali Piracy and Terrorism in
the Horn of Africa lays out for readers such significant topics as
the reasons behind the collapse of the Somali state and the
secession of Somaliland, Puntland, and Jubaland; the rise of
internationally-linked terrorist groups, such as Al-Shabaab and
Hizbul Islam; and the dramatic spike in pirate attacks off the
Somali coast. Daniels concludes by critiquing the methods that have
been used to help alleviate these global security challenges and
gives policy recommendations for future consideration. Designed to
enhance readers' grasp of this global flashpoint, this volume
includes a timeline, a glossary of terms, biographical entries on
key individual and institutional actors in this conflict, and
selected primary sources. It is the ideal introduction to students
and scholars of international relations, African history and
politics, terrorism, and maritime studies.
