Reviews
This remarkable study of a non-state upends dominant scholarly and policy discourses about statehood, conflict, peace, development, and international interventions...Phillips skillfully engages the relevant literature and methodological issues, and employs a creative multimethod approach to capture both the uniqueness of Somaliland and its value for comparative analysis and political theory. This is an excellent volume for college and larger public libraries, and for collections supporting programs in international affairs, as well as for Africana, peace, development, and security studies. -- J. P. Smaldone, Georgetown University * Choice *
This remarkable study of a non-state upends dominant scholarly and policy discourses about statehood, conflict, peace, development, and international interventions. Phillips skillfully engages the relevant literature and methodological issues, and employs a creative multimethod approach to capture both the uniqueness of Somaliland and its value for comparative analysis and political theory. This is an excellent volume for college and larger public libraries, and for collections supporting programs in international affairs, as well as for Africana, peace, development, and security studies. * Choice * Theoretically sophisticated and beautifully written, Sarah Phillips's book is a remarkable study that is an example of some of the very finest research and scholarship to emerge from political science and international relations in recent years. When There Was No Aid is destined to become a landmark text in the fields of development, international affairs, peace, conflict and security studies. * Australian Political Studies Association * When There Was No Aid is the result of extensive fieldwork.... Phillips has drawn on impressive empirical research to produce a compelling account of Somaliland's path to peace. While it is evidently written with an academic audience in mind, this book is lively and accessible. * Times Literary Supplement * Phillips's nuanced and provocative study is the most compelling account yet of Somaliland's recent history. * Foreign Affairs *
