معضلة مشروع بناء الدولة في الصومال : العراقيل و الفجوات البنيوية

Abstract EN

Academic studies on Somalia lack focus on analyzing the gaps and problems facing the state-building project.

drawing on an in-depth literature review of post-war and conflict state-building frameworks and models, this study highlights the structural gaps that continue to hinder Somalia's state-building project by seeking to identify and describe them, in addition to discussing their root causes and impacts on the future of the state-building project.

the study concludes that these gaps can be summarized into three categories: 1 -political: as a result of the problematic aspects of both the tribal quota system 4.5 and the federal system, 2 -social: represented in the weakened role of civil society in the process of state-building, and 3 –economic : driven by the controversial business interests of influential businessmen, and the impact of foreign assistance on economic recovery.

thus, the success of the state-building project in Somalia depends on all relevant actors' abilities to deal with these structural gaps.
