Chatham House event to examine "distinctiveness of the Horn of Africa" and inter-state relations

On March 22, Chatham House will host an event in London when speakers will examine the distinctiveness of the Horn of Africa's inter-state relations and the divergent trajectories within the region. This event will launch The Horn of Africa: State Formation and Decay, authored by Christopher Clapham and published by Hurst.

Participants

• PROFESSOR CHRISTOPHER CLAPHAM, EMERITUS PROFESSOR, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE; AUTHOR, THE HORN OF AFRICA: STATE FORMATION AND DECAY (VIDEO PRESENTATION)
• JASON MOSLEY, ASSOCIATE FELLOW, AFRICA PROGRAMME, CHATHAM HOUSE
• CHAIR: DR GREG MILLS, DIRECTOR, BRENTHURST FOUNDATION

Overview

The Horn of Africa is host to highly varied constituent countries. From state collapse followed by deeply flawed reconstruction in Somalia, to militarized isolation in Eritrea, and 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.
