Borders offer opportunities as well as restrictions, and in the
Horn of Africa they are used as economic, political, identity and
status resources by borderland peoples. State borders are more than
barriers. They structure social, economic and political spaces and
as such provide opportunities as well as obstacles for the
communities straddling both sides of the border. This book deals
with the conduits and opportunities of state borders in the Horn of
Africa, and investigates how the people living there exploit them
through various strategies. Using a micro level perspective, the
case studies, which include the borders of Djibouti, Eritrea,
Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, focus on
opportunities, highlight the agency of the borderlanders, and
acknowledge the permeability but consequentiality of the borders.
