摘要

本文调查了在南苏丹本提乌的联合国南苏丹特派团(UNMISS)平民保护(PoC)站点内帮派的作用和合法性的争论。根据定性访谈，它认为“帮派”代表了年轻人、老年人和保护行动者之间通过日常斗争和社会争论过程进行谈判的媒介。关于帮派的主流叙述是暴力犯罪实体与长辈和保护者之间的冲突，但对他们的下属来说，帮派提供了保护、身份、归属感、责任、代理，以及克服“等待期”的不确定性并实现社会成年的途径。

Youth Gangs and overcoming waithood in a United Nations Protection of Civilians Site in South Sudan

This article investigates contestations over the roles and legitimacy of gangs within the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Protection of Civilians (PoC) site in Bentiu, South Sudan. Drawing on qualitative interviews, it argues that ‘ gangs ’ represented the medium through which everyday struggles and processes of social contestations were negotiated between youth, elders, and protection actors. Prevailing narratives of gangs as violent criminal entities structured con ﬂ ict with elders and protection actors, but to their a ﬃ liates, gangs provided protection, identity, belonging, responsibility, agency, and a route to overcome the limbo of ‘ waithood ’ and achieve social adulthood.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding is a cross-disciplinary journal devoted to critical analysis of international intervention, focussing on interactions and practices that shape, influence and transform states and societies. In 21st century political practice, states and other actors increasingly strive to transplant what they see as normatively progressive political orders to other contexts. Accordingly, JISB focuses on the complex interconnections and mutually shaping interactions between donor and recipient communities within military, economic, social, or other interventional contexts, and welcomes perspectives on political life of, and beyond, European state-building processes. The journal brings together academics and practitioners from cross-disciplinary backgrounds, including international relations, political science, political economy, sociology, international law, social anthropology, geography, and regional studies. The editors are particularly interested in specific or comparative in-depth analyses of contemporary or historical interventions and state-building processes that are grounded in careful fieldwork and/or innovative methodologies. Multi or cross-disciplinary contributions and theoretically challenging pieces that broaden the study of intervention and state building to encompass processes of decision-making, or the complex interplay between actors on the ground, are especially encouraged.
