This book, by one of the foremost scholars of the region, traces this question through its exceptional history and also probes the wildly divergent fates of the Horn's contemporary nation-states, despite the striking regional particularity inherited from the colonial past. Christopher Clapham explores how the Horn's peculiar topography gave rise to the Ethiopian empire, the sole African state not only to survive European colonialism, but also to participate in a colonial enterprise of its own. Its impact on its neighbours, present-day Djibouti, Eritrea, Somalia and Somaliland, created a region very different from that of post-colonial Africa. This dynamic has become all the more distinct since 1991, when Eritrea and Somaliland emerged from the break-up of both Ethiopia and Somalia. Yet this evolution has produced highly varied outcomes in the region's constituent countries, from state collapse (and deeply flawed reconstruction) in Somalia, through militarised isolation in Eritrea, to a still fragile 'developmental state' in Ethiopia. The tensions implicit in the process of state formation now drive the relationships between the once historically close nations of the Horn. 7aSince 19002fast 7aPolitics and government..2fast0(OCoLC)fst01919741 0aHorn of AfricaxHistoryy20th century. 0aHorn of AfricaxHistoryy21st century. 0aHorn of AfricaxPolitics and governmenty20th century. 0aHorn of AfricaxPolitics and governmenty21st century. 0aEthiopiaxPolitics and governmenty1974-1991. 0aEthiopiaxPolitics and governmenty1991- 7aAfricazHorn of Africa..2fast0(OCoLC)fst01719937 7aEthiopia..2fast0(OCoLC)fst01205830 7aHistory..2fast0(OCoLC)fst01411628
