Foreign Intervention and Radicalization in Somalia (2001-2009)

The central focus of this book is to explain the social mechanisms through which the radicalization processes on the part of al-Shabaab unfolded. The author argues that radicalization dynamics exerted their influence at the onset in relation to the formation of the warlord alliance known as the ARPCT and, more tellingly, escalated in the Ethiopian invasion of Somalia.
