Summary:

"Explores the significant role of migration, locally grounded actor-networks, land access, and material conditions in shaping frontier markets. It shows that states ultimately struggle to govern such markets, despite the mutually reinforcing relationship between the two. These continual processes of market formation have produced an unsettled frontier, where people and communities strive to secure their lives within ruptured landscapes"-- Provided by publisher.
