O knihe
Despite its small size, Djibouti has capitalized on its singular geographic position to make itself indispensable as a commercial emporium, as a vital center for global trade, as a key player in bringing stability to a troubled region, and as a location where the armed forces of the world¿s great powers have established outposts. 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.
