    Master Thesis
    Aid Effectiveness and Government Institutions in a Fragile State: the Case of Somalia
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2020) Shukri, Abdulkadir Sheikh Mohamed; Karaoğuz, Hüseyin Emrah
    This study concerns the relation between foreign aid and fragile state institutions by asking how foreign aid effects fragile state institutions. And to elaborate furthermore, the study applies the case of Somalia as a fragile state which is pointed out as heavily dependent on foreign aid. It notices that the good governance approach which is the dominant approach for assessing state institutions cannot be appropriate for fragile states, so as an alternative for that approach, the thesis provides that good enough governance can be a proper application for fragile states, which concerns the institutions itself, not its outcomes as a result. In the case of Somalia, the thesis concerns only the current government implementation and progress (2017-2019), and to understand whether the Somalia fragility comes, the third chapter concerns the roots of fragility in Somalia, which, as a result, related to the warlord, factional leaders, and other authorities who rejected or refused any sort of agreements and conciliations to implement in the country. Moreover, this thesis applies the Country Indicator for foreign policy index (CIFP)'s concept of institution assessment mechanisms; state authority, state capacity, and state legitimacy (ACL). In Somalia, these mechanisms are not shown increases, for example, the current state authorities in Somalia reveals an increase in the balance of the president and prime minister disputes, but the attention of conflict prevention is very low and that not great for the stabilization between the federal government and federal member states. Also, the rule of law in Somalia is getting worse when the federal constitutions take a decade to fulfill it, where, on the other side, it shows developments in state capacities. Finally, the study argues state authorities and state legitimacy in fragile states must be concerned as key for the development not only aid flow.
