The Routledge Handbook of the Horn of Africa provides a
comprehensive, interdisciplinary survey of contemporary research
related to the Horn of Africa. Situated at the junction of the
Sahel-Saharan strip and the Arabian Peninsula, the Horn of Africa
is growing in global importance due to demographic growth and the
strategic importance of the Suez Canal. Divided into sections on
authoritarianism and resistance, religion and politics, migration,
economic integration, the military, and regimes and liberation, the
contributors provide up-to-date, authoritative knowledge on the
region in light of contemporary strategic concerns. The handbook
investigates how political, economic, and security innovations have
been implemented, sometimes with violence, by use of force or by
negotiation - including 'ethnic federalism' in Ethiopia,
independence in Eritrea and South Sudan, integration of the
traditional authorities in the (neo)patrimonial administrations,
Somalian Islamic Courts, the Sudanese Islamist regime, people's
movements, multilateral operations, and the construction of an
architecture for regional peace and security. Accessibly written,
this handbook is an essential read for scholars, students, and
policy professionals interested in the contemporary politics in the
Horn of Africa.
