Contemporary scholarship characterizes Somalia as a nation in search of statehood. The approach presupposes a homogenous cohesive nation and society- with considerable traditional democratic pastoralism. This book portrays a complex nation with multiple heterogeneous characteristics. This alternative approach reflects the socio-political and the historical formations, invention and possible reinvention of the society.
The book aims beyond the nation state-centric analysis. Issues discussed include:
- Conceptual socio-political transnational frame of development and statehood
- Analytical frames resting on diverse cases of emerging transnational civic connections
- Prospects for regional educational development
- Countering transnational precarity (employment and residence uncertainties), political mobilization and extremism
- Transnational efforts at state formation, power and justice
