Book excerpt: How important is it to maintain the integrity of culture? Can looking back in history help us to look forward? What are the options for failed states and is confederation an answer? These are some of the questions addressed in this book on the politics of the Somalilands. John Drysdale discusses a way forward to re-establish polity for the fractured former Somali Republic. His analysis is placed against an exploration of Somali culture and values, aspects of which he considers an eminently suitable interface for a confederate model of government.
