The Horn of Africa is a deeply troubled region engulfed in three
interlocking crises. The first is a security crisis characterized
by a range of devastating inter-state and inter-communal conflicts,
including civil wars. The second is an economic crisis, evidenced
by widespread debilitating poverty, chronic food insecurity, and
frequent cycles of famines. The effects of the third -
environmental - crisis are all too visible in the droughts,
deforestation and desertification ravaging the region. What is
more, these three crises are mutually reinforcing locking the
region into a cycle of disaster. Conflicts contribute to poverty,
which in turn intensifies environmental degradation, leading to
scarcities which fuel further conflicts. In this clear and
authoritative guide, Kidane Mengisteab explores the key drivers of
instability in the Horn of Africa, suggesting structural and
institutional changes that - if implemented - could help lift the
region out of crisis. The Horn's complex crises must be tackled in
a comprehensive manner. But, he contends, this can only be achieved
if the causes of conflict are addressed head-on. Without peace, the
region cannot resolve its economic problems, and nor can it develop
the capabilities required to cope with environmental change. The
Horn of Africa will be essential reading for students and scholars
in conflict and security studies, as well as anyone with an
interest in learning more about the dynamics of this troubled
region
