Drawing on multi-site research from across East Africa's Somali-inhabited economic space-which includes areas of Kenya, Djibouti, Uganda and Ethiopia-this volume highlights the interconnection between trade and state-building after state collapse. It scrutinizes the \"politics of circulation\" between competing public administrations, which seek to generate revenue and to control infrastructures along major trade corridors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConnecting classic debates on state formation with recent scholarship on logistics and cross-border trading, \u003cem\u003eTrade Makes States\u003c\/em\u003e argues that the facilitation and capture of commodity flows have been instrumental in making and unmaking states across the Somali territories. Aspiring state-builders are thus confronted with the challenge of governing the flow of goods in order to rule over lands and peoples. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributors to this volume draw attention to the ingenuities of transnational Somali markets, which often appear to be self-governed. Their dynamism and everyday administration by a host of actors provide important insights into contemporary state formation on the margins of global supply-chain capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.89 x 8.5 x 5.53 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42125479084167,"sku":"9780197746219","price":51.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/9b18cce393d2968276df46ce25b19869.webp?v=1732577925","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/trade-makes-states-governing-the-greater-somali-economy-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
