{"product_id":"trade-makes-states-tobias-hagmann-9780197746219","title":"Trade Makes States: Governing the Greater Somali Economy","description":"\u003cem\u003eTrade Makes States \u003c\/em\u003ehighlights how trade and the circulation of goods are central to Somali societies, economies and politics. 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. \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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tobias Hagmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197746217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197746219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.53w x 0.89d","brand":"Tobias Hagmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130351153407,"sku":"9780197746219","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c569cdf-2cb7-4f5c-b6e4-b74801e66e43.jpg?v=1687468906","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trade-makes-states-tobias-hagmann-9780197746219","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
