| Sumario: | The present conflicts, mainly those located in the African continent, are characterized by having a strong cultural load in their causal roots. Contexts such as globalization have been responsible for changing the dynamics of war, generating a transition from ideology to identity. Thus, this paper proposes to conduct an analysis of the Somali conflict based on what was postulated by some leading contemporary authors of the war such as Mary Kaldor and Samuel Huntington. The dynamics of interethnic litigation, the institutional precariousness derived from a failed State and the US intervention in 1992 are reviewed in a comprehensive way. This is in order to give a theoretical explanation to the difficulties of peace building in this territory. |
