It analyzes major political events in Somalia in the years since 2006, examining opportunities for restoration of the country based on the United Nations-backed plan known as the \"Roadmap for the End of the Transition,\" improved security conditions, and international economics and financial support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author notes that the time of transition may be over, according to the timetable of the United Nations, but it is clear that the work of transformation is just beginning. In considering whether political and social chaos in Somalia is ending, Shay sees two possible futures. One possibility is the establishment of a reform government that unifies Somali society; another is continued strife that accelerates Somalia's descent into the endless violence of a failed state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShay believes the international approach to Somalia requires a thorough reassessment. He argues it has been limited to two Western priorities--terrorism and piracy--while largely ignoring domestic issues of critical concern to Somalis. As a result, many Somalis have come to view those participating in the international effort as a foreign occupation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shaul Shay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1412853907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781412853903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2015 pg. 1398","brand":"Shaul Shay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088185569535,"sku":"9781412853903","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71166877-fc92-4bef-a9ac-e7345ff0351f.jpg?v=1769103528","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/somalia-in-transition-since-2006-shaul-shay-9781412853903","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
