* This report examines the economic dimensions of regional conflict
and cooperation in the Horn of Africa. It asks whether, over the long term,
economic drivers have the potential to transform endemic conflict among
states or whether political stability is a precondition for enhancing
economic cooperation.
* The security interdependence that exists in the Horn is matched by
an equally complex degree of economic interdependence. For while these
countries have been deeply involved in warfare with one another and have
consistently worked to undermine or rearrange one another's regimes, there
is a wealth of other, potentially more positive, longestablished
relationships that exist between people all over the region.
