Book synopsis

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 _____________________ A. Osman Farah is an Assistant Professor at Aalborg University where he teaches Development, transnational relations, transnationalism, transnational NGOs, New-regionalism and transnational State formation.
