About this product
Product Information
The first contribution to Global Flashpoints: A Scarecrow Press Series, Christopher Daniels' Somali Piracy and Terrorism in the Horn of Africa provides readers with a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the spate of piracy and terrorism plaguing the waters of Somalia and the global threat posed by this activity. Contesting the commonly held perception that the piracy and terrorism occurring in Somalia are two separate and unrelated activities, Daniels reveals how the collapse of the Somali state and the chaos that has ensued created the environment for piracy and terrorism to flourish in combination. He also notes how the failure to restore a functioning central government has allowed both to become dangerous threats not only to the people of Somalia but the entire world. Underscoring Somalia's dire state, Somali Piracy and Terrorism in the Horn of Africa lays out for readers such significant topics as the reasons behind the collapse of the Somali state and the secession of Somaliland, Puntland, and Jubaland; the rise of internationally-linked terrorist groups, such as Al-Shabaab and Hizbul Islam; and the dramatic spike in pirate attacks off the Somali coast. Daniels concludes by critiquing the methods that have been used to help alleviate these global security challenges and gives policy recommendations for future consideration. Designed to enhance readers' grasp of this global flashpoint, this volume includes a timeline, a glossary of terms, biographical entries on key individual and institutional actors in this conflict, and selected primary sources. It is the ideal introduction to students and scholars of international relations, African history and politics, terrorism, and maritime studies.

Christopher L. Daniels's timely book on piracy and terrorism in the Horn of Africa provides detailed, valuable information on a poorly understood and under-studied region that is attracting growing international attention. Analysts and policy makers will undoubtedly find this to be a very useful book. Unlike many authors, who are reluctant to make explicit policy recommendations, Daniels is overt in his support for U.S. and international anti-terrorist and anti-piracy operations in Somalia, and ends the book with a clear prescription for greater international aid for the sake of "truly eradicating the terrorist threat worldwide"....The author does an excellent job of accurately and carefully synthesizing the latest journalistic accounts and UN documents on the Horn of Africa...Daniels has provided a valuable resource for those seeking an orientation to the subject and a timely contribution to the body of literature on the civil war in Somalia., Christopher L. Daniels's timely book on piracy and terrorism in the Horn of Africa provides detailed, valuable information on a poorly understood and under-studied region that is attracting growing international attention. Analysts and policy makers will undoubtedly find this to be a very useful book. Unlike many authors, who are reluctant to make explicit policy recommendations, Daniels is overt in his support for U.S. and international anti-terrorist and anti-piracy operations in Somalia, and ends the book with a clear prescription for greater international aid for the sake of 'truly eradicating the terrorist threat worldwide'....The author does an excellent job of accurately and carefully synthesizing the latest journalistic accounts and UN documents on the Horn of Africa...Daniels has provided a valuable resource for those seeking an orientation to the subject and a timely contribution to the body of literature on the civil war in Somalia., From bountiful economic promise and dynamic "Pan Somalism," Somalia has descended into a security problem over the past decade. For the past four consecutive years, Somalia has dominated the number one spot of the failed state index, the annual ranking prepared by the Fund for Peace and published by Foreign Policy. US-led international community efforts to restore hope proved abortive in 1993 when a US soldier was photographed being dragged through the streets of Somalia by cheering Somali mobs and thugs. In Somali Piracy and Terrorism in the Horn of Africa, Daniels (Florida A&M Univ.) examines the factors that led to state failure in Somalia. The first chapter examines the factors that led to Somalia's becoming a failed state and the aftermath of the declaration of independence by Somaliland and other vassal states. In chapters 2-3, the author looks at the factors that triggered piracy and terrorism in Somalia. Chapters 4-5 discuss the current solutions being proffered to restore order. The concluding chapter looks at the international implications of the conflict. A must read for all interested in the security of the region. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readership levels., A well-informed and authoritative account of the origins and magnitude of the threat of Somali piracy and terrorism plaguing the waters of the Horn of Africa. The author explains how the collapse of the Somali state and the ensuing chaos and anarchy created the environment for piracy and terrorism to proliferate and become major threats - embodied in the rise of terrorist groups such as al Shabaab and sharp spike in pirate attacks off the Somali coast. The author concludes with a critique of the measures employed to mitigate such security threats and offers a series of recommendations, such as establishing an all-inclusive reconciliation process, increased funding for peacekeeping operations, port security, eliminating ransom payments, challenging the religious legitimacy of terrorist organisations, monitoring and countering the internet propaganda by terrorist organisations, and developing other long-term strategies. The appendices include a timeline of major events in Somalia, a listing of the country's clans, key people and institutions, and definitions of terms and acronyms., Christopher L.
