In light of this relationship between the demise of trade networks and social conflict in the region, we can understand conflict in border communities as a product of the struggle between incompatible social contexts: one created by the legacy of trans regional cosmopolitanism, the other by national boundaries.

520 # $a In light of this relationship between the demise of trade networks and social conflict in the region, we can understand conflict in border communities as a product of the struggle between incompatible social contexts: one created by the legacy of trans regional cosmopolitanism, the other by national boundaries.
520 # $a In the Ladakhi ethnographic context there are many ways to construct an understanding of the trading past, which are discussed as memories of trade. As well as creating narratives of memory, the formation of borders within the Ladakh region and the severance of trading networks created a social legacy. The legacies of trade are the ways in which networks of social relationships were reorganized in response to the severance of regional trade networks. The reorganization, or legacy of trade, is an ongoing process of engaging with the contradictions and possibilities for cosmopolitan social networks within new political and economic arenas. Thus legacies are sites under community negotiation, with contesting visions of the new social networks, which can lead to social conflict.
520 # $a Through an ethno-historical and ethnographic study of social networks, this dissertation discusses an early 20th century trade system in Ladakh, India, its interruption by mid 20th century border formation, and the continuing role of the community formed by this network a half century later. The research explores the concept of a social network from the vantage point of its demise, showing how social and economic networks have lasting significance in local communities long after they cease to function. In the course of research, a historical view of regional network interactions revealed a complex web of social arrangements which facilitated trade among ethnic groups. Members of regional trading networks in frontier areas increased their trading capabilities by forming cosmopolitan groups which transcended religious, ethnic, and national identity. The basis of communal identity for these groups was the social interactions associated with trade rather than a particular geographic locale.
