Somali pastoralism has undergone dramatic changes in the last two
decades; the collapse of the central state, with the fall of
Barre's regime, and increasing integration into regional and
international market systems have reflected and induced major
societal reconfiguration. With more than 6 million dromedaries in
Somalia camel milk traditionally represents a main local staple
food. As a result of the turmoil that has remoulded the Somali
socio-economic fabric, camel milk has increasingly become a
marketable commodity and its trade has developed accordingly. By
investigating the nature and the dynamics of camel milk production
and commercialisation this work explores the ways such recent
changes have impacted on local livelihoods in a specific portion of
Somalia - the north-eastern territories of Puntland. This thesis
explores the extensive networks and sophisticated arrangements and
mechanisms of cooperation enabling camel milk marketing and
examines the set of social and cultural relations that characterise
them. Through a comparative analysis with the more traditional
trade of livestock the dynamics behind the integration of pastoral
economies into market dynamics are unveiled.
