Becoming Somaliland - March 2008
Mark Bradbury
Since declaring independence from Somalia in 1991, the Republic of Somaliland has successfully managed a process of reconciliation, demobilisation and the restoration of law and order. This book - the most authoritative account to date of the birth and growth of Somaliland - explores why Somaliland has not followed Somalia into 'state collapse', and considers issues of post-conflict resolution and state-building that will be of relevance and interest to all concerned with peace and progress, not just in Africa but worldwide.
