''Alexandra Lewis provides a detailed yet succinct examination of the foundations of state and non-state governance structures across Yemen and the various parts of Somalia. The treatment of tribal dynamics and their relation to formal states is particularly insightful and will prove useful to those pursuing peace, economic growth and stable governance in southern Arabia and the Horn of Africa. I commend this book to scholars as well as practitioners in the international community and the military.'' - Steven A. Zyck, Research Fellow, Humanitarian Policy Group at Overseas Development Institute
