Somali networks: structures of clan and society
نویسنده
چکیده
This annotated bibliography focuses on issues of power, participation and governance in relation to Somali networks. There is a healthy body of academic literature examining Somali social structures, including networks and clans. Specific detail on the power relations and differentials between and within clans, however, is scarce. Experts attribute this lack of knowledge to the complexity and fluidity of power relations, and the fluidity of clans themselves.

متن کاملCritically Twin Primitive 2-Structures
Unlike graphs, digraphs or binary relational structures, the 2-structures do not define precise links between vertices. They only yield an equivalence between links.

A subset C of V (σ) is a clan of σ if for each v ∈ V (σ) ∖ C, v is linked in the same way to all the elements of C....
