Reviews

Fakuade and Akilli have produced an indispensable study of one of our era’s most complex geopolitical puzzles. This book transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries to deliver a nuanced, theoretically grounded analysis that speaks to scholars, policymakers, and practitioners alike. The authors’ innovative framework—linking political instability, environmental degradation, economic crises, and foreign aid and intervention through the lens of displacement—uncovers patterns too often obscured by fragmented approaches. Their comparative analysis of Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia demonstrates how local resilience, interacts with foreign aid and international power dynamics, while their exploration of Turkey’s emerging role provides fresh insight into twenty-first-century diplomacy. Redefining how we understand crisis, displacement, and aid in fragile contexts beyond the Horn of Africa, this book is essential reading for anyone grappling with the intersections of humanitarian action and geopolitics in our interconnected world. * Mehari Taddele Maru, Part-time Professor in the School of Transnational Governance and Migration Policy Centre, European University Institute, Italy *
