摘要

军队参与文职工作在非洲并不是一个独特的现象。本研究以肯雅塔总统让军官参与内罗毕大都市市政服务管理为例，对非洲的这一现象进行了文献分析，以揭示其在军事和政治精英以及整个社会之间产生的政治意义。它将分析定位在内罗毕市，在那里，可以在当前关于平民激活军事化以及平民和军事机构之间界限模糊的辩论中理解这一现象。这进一步引发了一场辩论，即在资源匮乏的非洲国家，像军队这样的技术先进机构是否应该闲置，而公民却继续遭受服务提供不足的痛苦。

Militarisation of municipal service provision in metropolitan Nairobi? A localised document analysis of Africa’s ‘fatigue duty’ politics

ABSTRACT Involvement of the army in civilian duties is not a unique phenomenon in Africa. This study undertakes a document analysis of this phenomenon in Africa in the case of the President Kenyatta's involvement of military officers in the management of municipal service provision in metropolitan Nairobi to reveal the political meanings it engenders between the military and political elites, and society at large. It localises the analysis in Nairobi city where the phenomenon can be understood within the current debates of civilian activation of militarisation and the blurring of boundaries between civilian and military institutions. This furthers the debate as to whether a technologically advanced institution like the military should be left idle in resource poor countries of Africa while citizens continue to suffer from inadequate provision of services.
