本文分析了暴力冲突后的权利经济以及由此产生的冲突后建设和平和民主转型的挑战。该研究基于种族灭绝后的卢旺达和独立后的纳米比亚的两个案例研究表明，以英雄主义或受害者身份为前提的权利主张是政治暴力之后的重要现象，使建设和平努力陷入严重困境。本文探讨了权利的心理根源及其在政治暴力后的表现，认为仅针对特定受害者或英雄群体的权利挑战了平等和公民权等民主原则，并最终破坏了和平与社会正义。本文试图通过以下方式丰富建设和平的辩论：首先，将权利感视为冲突后动态的一个要素；其次，介绍“英雄”作为冲突后环境中的重要角色；第三，讨论受害人作为国际化冲突后背景中核心类别的崛起所产生的一些影响。
This article analyses economies of entitlement after violent conflicts and the challenges for post-conflict peacebuilding and democratic transition arising from them. Based on two case studies of post-genocide Rwanda and post-independence Namibia, the study shows that entitlement claims premised on heroism or victimhood are important phenomena after political violence that confront peacebuilding efforts with serious dilemmas. Examining the psychological roots of entitlement and their manifestations in the wake of political violence, this article argues that entitlements targeting only particular groups of victims or heroes challenge democratic principles such as equality and citizenship and, eventually, undermine peace and social justice. The contribution tries to enrich the peacebuilding debate by, first, considering feelings of entitlement as an element of post-conflict dynamics, second, introducing the ‘hero’ as important actor in post-conflict settings, and third, discussing some effects of the rise of victimhood as core category in internationalised post-conflict contexts.
