Post-Communism and Desintegration: Somalia in the New World Order
Post-Communism and Desintegration: Somalia in the New World Order

Summary/Abstract: The years after the Cold War were characterized as a confusing period, both at a global and a regional level. From the ashes of communism rose a new world order that altered the previous situation not only in Europe, but also in America, Africa and Asia. In this way, many countries were affected by the change, especially in the African continent, which for decades had become a board on which communist and liberal powers face through the so-called proxy wars. Likewise, Somalia suffered the consequences of the new international situation which had already developed in the late 1980s. This country, which was a socialist state, but which surprisingly was an ally of the United States, suffered since 1991 a process of unprecedented state collapse, becoming the paradigm of Failed State.
