Historical Sociology of State Formation in the Horn of Africa

Más información sobre el libro

The book offers a comprehensive analysis of state formation in the Horn of Africa through three distinct models: proto-state, colonial, and national liberation. Each model provides a unique perspective, with the proto-state focusing on indigenous processes, the colonial model addressing externally imposed structures, and the national liberation model highlighting state formation through liberation movements. Together, these models create a robust framework for understanding the complexities of state evolution in the region, marking a novel approach in the field of historical sociology.
