Abstract of Article

Title:	Reflections on Somaliland and Africa's Territorial Order
Author:	Ian S Spears
Location:	Vol.30 No.95 (March 2003), pp89-98

This article examines the arguments for and against reforming the African state system in order to create more viable and peaceful states. It argues that while such a process has the potential to be enormously disruptive, selective recognition of some 'states-within-states', such as Somaliland, does offer promising approaches to more effective governance and more viable and coherent states.
