"A new approach to bringing order in Somalia By Jeffrey Gettleman Published: August 18, 2008 Does the international community have it all wrong on Somalia? After 17 years, 14 transitional governments and more than $8 billion in foreign aid, the country is as violent, lawless - and, many say, as hopeless - as ever. Early this month, a man who had been running an orphanage for 18 years was fatally shot in the head. A few days before that, 20 women sweeping the streets were blown up with a bomb buried in a pile of garbage. No one is safe, and perhaps no place on earth more closely meets Thomas Hobbes's characterization of a state of nature in which life is "nasty, brutish and short." Nothing seems to be able to lift Somalia's curse of anarchy. Part of the problem, a rising number of Western academics and Somali professionals argue, is that the bulk of outside efforts have concentrated on setting up a strong central government, which may be anathema in a country where authority tends to be diffuse and clan-based." <del> But there may be another answer: going local. Many Somali intellectuals and Western academics are pushing a form of government that might be better suited to Somalia's fluid, fragmented and decentralized society. The new idea - actually an old idea that seems to enjoying something of a renaissance because of the transitional government's shortcomings - is to rebuild Somalia from the bottom up. It is called the building-block approach. The first blocks would be small governments at the lowest levels, in villages and towns. These would be stacked to form district and regional governments. The last step would be uniting the regional governments in a loose national federation that controlled, say, currency and the pirate-infested shoreline, but did not sideline local leaders."
