Much analysis of state building focusses on dissecting specific
projects and attempting to identify what has gone 'wrong' in states
such as Afghanistan and Iraq. What draws less attention is what has
gone 'right' in non-interventionist statebuilding projects within
'unrecognised' states. By examining this model in more depth a more
successful model of statebuilding emerges in which the end goal of
modern democracy and good governance are more likely to be
realized. Indeed 'states-within-states' such as Somaliland where
external intervention in the statebuilding process is largely
absent can provide vital new lessons. Somaliland is a functioning
democratic political entity in northwestern Somalia which declared
its independence from the troubled south in 1991 and then embarked
on an ambitious project to create a democratic government and
successful state in the post-conflict environment. The leaders and
the people of Somaliland have since succeeded not only in
maintaining peace and stability, but also in building the
institutions of government and the foundations for democracy that
have led to a succession of elections, peaceful transfers of power
and a consolidation of democratization. The resulting state of
Somaliland is widely hailed as a beacon of success within a
politically turbulent region and provides a useful framework for
successful statebuilding projects throughout the world.
