Öz

Bu araştırma, Somali’de Federalizmden kaynaklı fırsat ve zorlukların toplumsal kalkınma özelinde incelenmesi hakkında yazılmıştır. 2004'te Somalili klan büyükleri ve politikacılar federalizmi yeni hükümet sistemi olarak benimsemeyi kanaatindeydiler ve 2012'de Somali federalizmi benimseyerek daha önceden kurulmuş olan Puntland ve Somaliland eyaletlerine ek olarak dört eyalet kurdu. Bu eyaletler: Jubaland, Galmudug, Hirshabelle ve Güney Batı Eyaletleriydi. Bu makale, federalizmin Somali'de toplumsal kalkınmayı nasıl etkilediğine odaklanmakta ve federalizmin toplumsal kalkınma açısından meydana getirdiği fırsatları ve zorlukları değerlendirmektedir. Federalizm, ekonominin büyümesi, toplumsal güvenliği, eğitim ve sağlık sisteminin gelişimi, kadınların ve gençlerin toplumsal hayata daha çok katılması, güç dağılımının dengelenmesi ve siyasi istikrarın sağlanması gibi fırsatlar sunmuş olsa da bunların yanı sıra sınır çatışmaları, güç anlaşmazlıkları, doğal kaynakların sömürülmesi ve azınlık adaletsizlikleri gibi zorluklar da doğurmuş olmaktadır. Bu araştırma için kullanılan metodoloji anketlerden sağlanan verilerin analiz edilmesi şeklindedir
