NASSIR Posted January 4, 2010 Link "Governance traces the origins of Somalia’s chronic and debilitating problems to the 19th century European scramble for Africa. It identifies its problems of governance – pre-colonial, colonial, and post-colonial – and refutes the argument that both the unitary system and an outmoded and archaic clan system were to blame. The author prescribes “good governance” in which the pre-eminence of the traditional clan system will be recognized while operating modern structures of governance, for he believes that tradition and modernity are not necessarily mutually exclusive."
