难民营是留给国际人道主义机构仁慈治理的特殊场所，并提供了探索公共权力的建立和取消的独特机会。本文探讨了坦桑尼亚难民营中的某些青年群体如何通过与布隆迪道德秩序的思想有关，同时又与国际救援行动的“发展话语”有关，来建立公共权威。难民试图建立公共权力的努力受到高度质疑，而且高度政治化，与救济机构认为难民营是非政治性的看法相冲突。具有讽刺意味的是，在难民营中参与政治的年轻人也与这些救济机构有着密切的联系，他们在这些机构和“小人物”之间扮演着中间人的角色。公共权威的产生，一部分是由行政机关授予的权力产生的，一部分是由行政机关制度中的“缝隙”形成的。同样，权威部分在于这些中间人从其他难民那里获得的尊重----这种尊重是以多种方式获得的，包括智取国际组织----部分在于他们从这些组织那里获得的承认。换句话说，公共权力的基础是合法性与承认之间以及主权与治理之间的复杂关系。
Refugee camps are exceptional places that are left to the benevolent governing of international humanitarian agencies, and offer unique opportunities to explore the making and un-making of public authority. This article examines how certain groups of young men in a refugee camp in Tanzania manage to establish public authority by relating to ideas of a Burundian moral order, while at the same time relating to the ‘development-speak’ of international relief operations. The refugees' attempts to establish public authority are highly contested and highly politicized, clashing with the relief agencies' vision of the camp as non-political. Ironically, the young men who engage in politics in the camp are also closely linked to these relief agencies in their role as brokers between the agencies and the ‘small people’. Public authority is partly produced by the powers that are delegated to them by the agencies and partly formed in the ‘gaps' in the agencies’ system. Similarly, authority rests in part on the respect that these brokers gain from other refugees — a respect that is earned in numerous ways, including outwitting the international organizations — and in part on the recognition that they get from the very same organizations. In other words, public authority rests on complex relations between legitimacy and recognition and between sovereignty and governmentality.
