本文以“正义”的透镜透视了苏丹北方因梅洛维大坝而流离失所的人们的斗争。应用分配、程序和代表性方面的正义暴露了受影响的人对政府提供和执行赔偿的不满。考虑到社会正义和规范的效用在跨国行动带来了尖锐的焦点差异的利益,和能力的许多参与者,并突出了政府的策略,以分裂社区,和社会分裂播种。随着斗争的发展,正义主张被视为向不那么重要的问题转变,这表明扩大和动态的正义概念比狭隘或有时限的概念更有帮助。调查结果与面临附近计划修建的大坝可能造成的流离失所的社区有关,尤其是对斗争中不同策略的有效性提供了见解。
This paper applies a “justice” lens to the struggle of the people displaced by the Merowe Dam in northern Sudan. Application of distributive, procedural, and representational aspects of justice exposes the dissatisfaction of the affected people with the government’s offer and execution of compensation. Consideration of social justice and the utility of norms in trans-national activism brings into sharp focus the difference in interests, and abilities of the many actors involved, and highlights the government’s tactics to divide the communities, and the social divisions sown. As the struggle develops, justice claims are seen to change towards less material issues, suggesting that an expanded and dynamic conception of justice is more helpful than narrow or time-bound conceptions. The findings are of relevance to communities facing possible displacement from dams planned nearby, not least of all for the insight provided on the effectiveness of different tactics in the struggle.
