Situated at the crossroads of continents, Djibouti has long been a crossroads in many other ways, not least because three ethnic groups – Afar, Arab, and Somali – come together to form its population. Known as Djab-bouti – the defeat of the ogress – for the Somali, ja-buta – lycanthropy – for the Afar, or jaa-bawti – my boat arrives – for the Arab, Djibouti serves as a fascinating case study in geostrategy. This book, originally the author’s PhD thesis, highlights how Djibouti developed into an essential commercial hub with a port that outshines others in the region. In detailing the country’s vision, it also shows Djibouti over time to be at another crossroads – between its precolonial and colonial past and a future that can be crucial to the world’s commercial prosperity and geopolitical harmony.40uhttps://www.editions-harmattan.fr/catalogue/couv/9782336490120r.jpg2Image de couverture40uhttps://www.harmatheque.com/downloadebook/97823364901202Télécharger le livre au format PDF40uhttps://www.harmatheque.com/readebook/97823364901202Lire ce livre en ligne
