The state's contribution to social order in national societies: Somalia as an
illustrative case Satoshi Kanazawa & Debra Friedman - Journal of Political &
Military Sociology
A mistaken consensus has emerged, since Axelrod's work in 1984, that because co-operation
in dyads and small groups is possible without state involvement, social order is possible
without it. "Our argument involves somewhat of a paradox: coercive intervention of a
central state is necessary to produce and maintain social order precisely because
co-operation within groups is possible without it" (pp1-2). This can be illustrated
by Somalia's clan-based society, in which lower-level stability is achieved at the cost of
societal chaos.- Kanazawa is visiting professor of sociology, University of Illinois;
Friedman teaches sociology at the University of Washington.

only justified but also necessary in order to achieve their political objectives. By the
same token, many governments around the world believe they need to use violence in order
to intimidate their populace into acquiescence. At other times, governments use force in
order to defend their country from outside invasion or other threats of force.
Political violence is used by citizens, groups, or governments in different contexts:
