The Fallacy of Adventurism in International Relations: Why Ethiopia’s "The Sea-Gate" MoU with "Somaliland" Will Harm Ethiopia More than Somalia

[Deeq A.]

The world of international relations is an intricate web of political maneuverings, perceptions, fault lines, power-jockeying, generally accepted deceptions, delicate balances, and strategic socioeconomic, security, and political considerations and ramifications. However, amidst this complex landscape, the concept of political, diplomatic, or military adventurism often emerges as misguided and futile approaches towards achieving national objectives.
