Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - International
Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 1.3, Jacobs
University Bremen gGmbH, course: USC - Theories of Development,
language: English, abstract: Somalia is a country in the East of
Africa, situated at the horn of Africa with a population of ca. 9.3
million (BTI 2012). In this part of the world, life is hard (e.g.
infant mortality rate: 10%) and short (life expectancy at birth: 51
years). "Freedom in the World 2012" by Freedom House gives Somalia
the worst possible rating both for political rights and civil
liberties. It ranks at place 223 of 227 in terms of GDP per capita
(CIA Factbook, 2012). The Global Peace Index lists Somalia as the
most dangerous country in the world while the Transitional Federal
Government of Somalia (TFG), which is supported by the United
Nations, the African Union and the United States, merely controls
parts of the capital Mogadishu (Bruton, 2009). Around 40% of Somali
territory is occupied by a radical muslim militia called Al-Shabab.
The famine that befell the horn of Africa in 2011 struck Somalia
worst, a country, which is mostly referred to as a 'failed state'
for 20 years now. The situation in Somalia, so much is clear, is
very serious and appalling in a variety of fields. But why is that?
In this paper I will describe Somalia's recent development in the
framework introduced by Szirmai (2005: pp. 29-33), using his 9
characteristics of developing countries for classification, and -
building up on that - inquire into possible explanations for its
deficiencies and its failure as a state.
