    Review of African Political Economy No.59:3-6 © ROAPE Publications Ltd., 1994 ISSN 0305-6244; RIX#5901 Transition and Transformation in Africa Anita Franklin & Roy Love On the eve of the first non-racial elections in South Africa the continent seems poised on the edge of a new political era. For many in Africa and elsewhere the April elections will be reminiscent of the heady days of the 1960s when decolonialisation and political sovereignty seemed synonymous with freedom and development. Three decades later, the euphoria has gone, Africa remains trapped in a web of underdevelopment. Nonetheless there is a a tendency to view South Africa, and this dramatic- moment in its history as exceptional and therefore infuse its future with all the hopes and broken promises of the region, and indeed the continent. South Africa's importance as an industrial centre is rivalled only by the symbolic power of black South African freedom. Events can move quickly however, and whatever one says about South Africa at a given time may rapidly become outdated. Nevertheless, we know that the new South Africa will need to cope with intransigent national, regional and international isues. The very nature of the transition to a post-apartheid state is being shaped by these concerns. Meanwhile, the redistribution of resources like land loom large on the horizon as does the danger of civil war from non- participating or otherwise disruptive groups on the right and in KwaZulu and Bophuthatswana. And what of the military, the police and their rehabilitation? How does a nation come to grips with the crimes of the past when so many of the protagonists are still in powerful positions? To tackle the massive legacy of unemployment, South Africa will be shaping its relations with its neighbours for decades to come.

  • Somaliland: the Strains of Success
    Somaliland: The Strains of Success Crisis Group Africa Briefing N°113 Nairobi/Brussels, 5 October 2015 I. Overview Somaliland’s hybrid system of tri-party democracy and traditional clan-based gov- ernance has enabled the consolidation of state-like authority, social and economic recovery and, above all, relative peace and security but now needs reform. Success has brought greater resources, including a special funding status with donors – especially the UK, Denmark and the European Union (EU) – as well as investment from and diplomatic ties with Turkey and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), though not inter- national recognition. It is increasingly part of the regional system; ties are especially strong with Ethiopia and Djibouti. Given the continued fragility of the Somalia Federal Government (SFG), which still rejects its former northern region’s independence claims, and civil war across the Gulf of Aden in Yemen, Somaliland’s continued stabil- ity is vital. This in turn requires political reforms aimed at greater inclusion, respect for mediating institutions (especially the professional judiciary and parliament) and a regional and wider internationally backed framework for external cooperation and engagement. Successful state building has, nevertheless, raised the stakes of holding – and los- ing – power. While Somaliland has remained largely committed to democratic gov- ernment, elections are increasingly fraught. Fear of a return to bitter internal conflict is pushing more conservative politics: repression of the media and opposition, as well as resistance to reforming the increasingly unsustainable status quo. Recurrent po- litical crises and delayed elections (now set for March 2017) risk postponing much needed internal debate. The political elites have a limited window to decide on steps necessary to rebuild the decaying consensus, reduce social tensions and set an agenda for political and institutional reform.

Advancing a novel conceptual framework and analysing diverse Somali state trajectories between 1960 and 2010, this thesis adds to those debates both theoretically and empirically.
