It scrutinises the 'politics of circulation' between competing public administrations, which seek to generate revenue and to control infrastructures along major trade corridors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConnecting classic debates on state formation with recent scholarship on logistics and cross-border trading, \u003ci\u003eTrade Makes States\u003c\/i\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47537398972652,"sku":"9781787387058","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/a8dc911dbb34199395c0d3b31ddce8cc.jpg?v=1776901390","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/trade-makes-states-9781787387058","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
