- Summary
- "Contemporary states are generally presumed to be founded on the elements of nation, people, territory, and sovereignty. In the Horn of Africa, however, the attempts to find a neat congruence among these elements created more problems than they solved. In The Horn of Africa as Common Homeland, Leenco Lata demonstrates that conflicts within and between states tend to overlap in the region. When these conflicts are seen in the context of pressures on the state in an era of heightened globalization, it becomes obvious that the Horn needs to adopt multi-dimensional self-determination."
- "Motivated by a search for practical answers rather than a strict adherence to any particular theory, this significant work by a political activist provides a thorough analysis of the region's complicated and conflicting goals."--Jacket.
