Abstract

State borders are more than barriers. They structure social, economic and political spaces and as such provide opportunities as well as obstacles for the communities straddling both sides of the border. This book deals with the conduits and opportunities of state borders in the Horn of Africa, and investigates how the people living there exploit state borders through various strategies. Using a micro level perspective, the case studies, which include the Horn and Eastern Africa, particularly the borders of Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, focus on opportunities, highlight the agency of the borderlanders, and acknowledge the permeability but consequentiality of the borders.

Abstract

'Dead Aid' analyses the history of economic development over the last 50 years and shows how aid crowds out financial and social capital and directly causes corruption. He also shows how, with improved access to capital and markets and with the right policies, even the poorest nations could be allowed to prosper.
