!is is particularly true with regard to the African continent; here, the “building” of the nationstate
has been confronted, more than anywhere else, with a number of challenges. At times and in
certain areas, state structures even collapsed, and thus transformed contemporary Africa into the
symbol of state failure. In particular the peripheries and borderlands of many post-colonial states in
Africa contribute to the emergence of local stateless forms of power, which seem to suggest the end
of the globalized statehood utopia. Are these new forms of political organization only a reaction
to uncertainty caused by the weakness or even the absence of state structures? Will these orders
be able to substitute the State in the long run? Or are global processes confronted with persisting
local representations and practises of order and rule, indicating that stateless societies can resist the
overwhelming power of the “Leviathan”? Can the longevity of local political models lead to the
transformation of the state as the only and unique model of organised power? Or do they foreshadow
a speci"c form of interlacement between non-state actors and the state that will lead to heterarchical
political settings in Africa and elsewhere? And "nally: in which respect do borderland-situations
