Land ohne Staat: Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft im Krieg am Beispiel Somalias.(Country without a State: Economy and Society in Wars. The example of Somalia)
The book analyses the impacts of war and state collapse on the social fabric of the Somali society. While it traces the dynamics of violence in Somalia since the 1980s, the analytical focus is on two aspects of the social: the dynamics of authority and the modes of economic reproduction. It follows three key question: how and which forms of power and authority emerge in the context of war and state collapse? On which modes of economic reproduction do people rely, and how are the economic practices related to the emergent structures of authority?
