Book review: The horn of Africa by Kidane Mengisteab

"The Horn of Africa." Kidane Mengisteab. Polity Press. October 2013. --- The Horn of Africa is a deeply troubled region engulfed in multiple, interlocking crises. In this book Kidane Mengisteab aims to explore the key drivers of instability in the region, suggesting structural and institutional changes that – if implemented – could help lift the region out of crisis. Jonathan R. Beloff writes that the author successfully introduces topics that are often forgotten when examining the region.
