This collection of essays demonstrates how chronic state failure
and the inability of the international community to provide a
solution to the conflict in Somalia has had transnational
repercussions. Following the failed humanitarian mission in
1992-93, most countries refrained from any direct involvement in
Somalia, but this changed in the 2000s with the growth of piracy
and links to international terrorist organizations. The
deterritorialization of the conflict quickly became apparent as it
became transnational in nature. In part because of it lacked a
government and was unable to work with the international community,
Somalia came to be seen as a "testing-ground" by many international
actors. Globalizing Somalia demonstrates how China, Japan, and the
EU, among others, have all used the conflict in Somalia to project
power, test the bounds of the national constitution, and test their
own military capabilities. Contributed by international scholars
and experts, the work examines the impact of globalization on the
internal and external dynamics of the conflict, arguing that it is
no longer geographically contained. By bringing together the many
actors and issues involved, the book fills a gap in the literature
as one of the most complete works on the conflict in Somalia to
date. It will be an essential text to any student interested in
Somalia and the horn of Africa, as well as in terrorism, and
conflict processes.
