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: A* Conceptual socio-political transnational frame of development and statehoodA* Analytical frames resting on diverse cases of emerging transnational civic connectionsA* Prospects for regional educational developmentA* Countering transnational precarity (employment and residence uncertainties), political mobilization and extremismA* Transnational efforts at state formation, power and justice
