摘要

索马里的饥荒和人道主义危机由来已久。本文重点关注2008-2020年，在此期间，治理和援助实践发生了重大变化，其中包括三个危机时期。本文探讨作为政治市场分析的治理是否以及如何有助于解释索马里反复出现的人道主义危机和应对措施的操纵。我们认为，在2008年至2011年期间，政治市场是一种暴力竞争的寡头垄断，这导致了饥荒，但从2012年开始，一种更具串通性的非正式政治契约导致了现状，避免了2017年的暴力冲突或饥荒，并起到了保持外部资源进入的作用。与此同时，这种政治安排的好处是，大批长期处于不稳定状态的流离失所者作为援助和劳动力的来源得以维持。

Somalia's evolving political market place: from famine and humanitarian crisis to permanent precarity

ABSTRACT Somalia has a long history of famine and humanitarian crisis. This article focuses on the years 2008–2020, during which governance and aid practices changed substantially and which include three crisis periods. The article examines whether and how governance analysed as a political marketplace can help explain Somalia's repeated humanitarian crises and the manipulation of response. We argue that between 2008 and 2011 the political marketplace was a violent competitive oligopoly which contributed to famine, but that from 2012 a more collusive, informal political compact resulted in a status quo which avoided violent conflict or famine in 2017 and which functioned to keep external resources coming in. At the same time, this political arrangement benefits from the maintenance of a large group of displaced people in permanent precarity as a source of aid and labour.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Modern African Studies offers a quarterly survey of developments in modern African politics and society. Its main emphasis is on current issues in African politics, economies, societies and international relations. It is intended not only for students and academic specialists, but also for general readers and practitioners with a concern for modern Africa, living and working both inside and outside the continent. Editorial policy avoids commitment to any political viewpoint or ideology, but aims at a fair examination of controversial issues in order to promote a deeper understanding of what is happening in Africa today. The journal also includes an invaluable book review section.
