This book examines post-secession and post-transition state
building in Somaliland, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan. It explores
two intimately linked, yet analytically distinct themes: state
building and national identity reconstruction following secession
and collapse. In Somaliland and South Sudan, rearranging the state
requires a complete metamorphosis of state institutions so that
they respond to the needs and interests of the people. In Sudan and
Somalia, the reconfiguration of the remains of the state must
address a new reality and demands on the ground. All four cases
examined, although highly variable, involve conflict. Conflict
defines the scope, depth and momentum of the state building and
state reconstruction process. It also determines the contours and
parameters of the projects to reconstitute national identity and
rebuild a nation. Addressing the contested identity formation and
its direct relation to state building would therefore go a long way
in mitigating conflicts and state crisis.
