The constant need to have a balanced power system, which caracterizes the traditional Serer system, appears at the central, provincial and village levels, just as it is in the respective relations of orders and castes. And yet that system was only one stage in an unfinished process, which was stopped by colonization, and it is now disappearing.The fact that a single political framework associates orders and castes leads one to question the right to transfer the caste concept outside of India and that of order outside the Western Medieval world. The distinction between the concepts of order and estate, as well as historical analysis, enable us to conclude that the Serer land seems to be on its wav to a transition between two types of Societies—one in which the political framework drew its cohesion from a system of orders dominating a sub-system of castes, and the other in which estates are gaining a leading position and in which castes remain only as caste consciousness
