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. <br><br>Known as<em> Djab-bouti </em>– the defeat of the ogress – for the Somali,<em> ja-buta</em> – lycanthropy – for the Afar, or <em>jaa-bawti </em>– 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.aType de ressource électronique : données textuelles et iconographiquesaPierre Berthelot, Zohra Mohamed Omar, Philippe Régnier40uhttps://www.editions-harmattan.fr/catalogue/couv/9782336490120r.jpg2Image de couverture40uhttps://www.harmatheque.com/downloadebook/9782336490120zAccès après authentification2Télécharger au format PDF40uhttps://www.harmatheque.com/readebook/9782336490120zAccès après authentification2Lire ce livre en ligne
