Examining Colonial Wars and Their Impact on Contemporary Military History
Colonial wars have been a very active part of 19th and 20th century history and their importance has often been overlooked. Their study and analysis, in order to understand the contemporary world and current international relations, is as necessary as it is interesting. Examining Colonial Wars and Their Impact on Contemporary Military History approaches the phenomenon of colonial wars with the intention of understanding the most immediate past in order to analyze the contemporary and current scenarios with new tools. It contributes to the dissemination of content without neglecting the considerations of social sciences and history, with a compilation and analytical character. Covering topics such as black-market armaments, imperialism, and military history, this premier reference source is a dynamic resource for historians, anthropologists, sociologists, government officials, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
Historia de Somalia
Somalia, por su situación geoestratégica y su naturaleza peculiar —al ser cruce de distintas culturas— ha vivido una trayectoria particular. A pesar de que sobre todo se conoce su historia reciente, señalada por la inestabilidad y la lucha entre facciones, el país cuenta con un rico pasado marcado por las redes comerciales, el desarrollo de sultanatos, que tuvieron una influencia y un poder destacados, y por las relaciones internacionales con otras potencias. El mérito de esta obra es que aborda de forma completa la historia de Somalia desde la prehistoria hasta nuestros días. A lo largo de diez capítulos se desgranan los principales procesos y acontecimientos de esta región desd...
Retos pendientes en el camino hacia la igualdad de las mujeres en el Siglo XXI
Es una obra colectiva con trabajos de autores y autoras tanto de España como de países americanos, que ofrece una panorámica sobre las problemáticas que arrastran las mujeres en diversos entornos. Cada mujer es distinta y cada mujer lleva consigo una mochila de experiencias, algunas desgraciadamente discriminatorias, que la diferencia de otra mujer. Esta obra habla de las mujeres, y ni siquiera de todas ellas, ni mucho menos, porque sería imposible, pero desde luego lo hace desde un enfoque plural y diverso y no monolítico. Quienes hemos trabajado en este libro queremos ofrecer a la comunidad académica, al activismo civil, a la sociedad comprometida, en general, mecanismos para id...
The Suicidal State in Somalia
This book is a critical reposition of the study of military regimes in Africa. Documenting and delving deep into the reign and rule of General Mohamed Siad Barre regime in Somalia from 1969 up to 1991, the book puts emphasis on African agencies—ostensibly shaped by external beneficiaries and patrons—over what went wrong with Africa after the much-awaited post-colonial period. It does so by critically engaging with the wider theoretical and conceptual frameworks in African Studies which more often than not tend to attribute the post-colonial African State raptures to colonialism. The main thesis of the book is that colonialism left Africa on its own space wherein African leaders could hav...
African Democratic Citizenship Education Revisited
This edited collection explores how democratic citizenship education manifests across the African continent. A recognition of rights and responsibilities coupled with an emphasis on deliberative engagement among citizens, while not uniquely African, provides ample evidence that the concept can most appropriately be realised in relation to its connectedness with experiences of people living on the continent. Focussing on a diverse collection of voices, the editors and authors examine countries that have an overwhelming allegiance to democratic citizenship education. In doing so, they acknowledge that this concept, enveloped by a certain Africanness, has the potential to manifest in practices across the African continent. By highlighting the success of democratic citizenship education, the diverse and varied contributions from across this vast continent address the malaise in its implementation in countries where autocratic rule prevails. This pioneering volume will be an invaluable resource for researchers and students working in the fields of education and sociology, particularly those with an interest in education policy, philosophy of education and global citizenship initiatives.

Historical Dictionary of Somalia
Despite advances in modern communication and the proliferation of information, there remain areas of the world about which little is known. One such place is Somalia.

Knowledge and Change in African Universities
While African universities retain their core function as primary institutions for advancement of knowledge, they have undergone fundamental changes in this regard. These changes have been triggered by a multiplicity of factors, including the need to address past economic and social imbalances, higher education expansion alongside demographic and economic growth concerns, and student throughput and success with the realization that greater participation has not meant greater equity. Constraining these changes is largely the failure to recognize the encroachment of the profit motive into the academy, or a shift from a public good knowledge/learning regime to a neo-liberal knowledge/learning re...
