Book Description
Famines, droughts, and the depletion of natural resources--all are serious environmental issues facing Somalia and other nations on the horn of Africa. To date, governments and international agencies have been largely ineffective in dealing with these problems. In this important volume, a stellar cast of contributors offers a fresh look at these issues and provides new approaches to solving them. Topics explored include food security, fresh water sources, soil erosion, locust invasions, animal diseases and pastoralism, as well as related infrastructural, financial, and political problems. Traditional ways of cooperating over environmental problems are examined, and development and security aspects are related to famine and political postures. Students and scholars in African studies, political science, and environmental studies will find much of value in this compelling study.
