在第三国重新安置被视为难民危机的持久解决办法。在肯尼亚西北部的卡库马难民营，在工业化国家寻求更好的生活已成为许多难民的当务之急。在这篇文章中，第三国重新安置的做法对难民营人口的影响进行了探讨。与散居国外者的沟通更加便利，对应享权利的了解有所增加，难民营内重新安置程序的能见度很高，这些都增加了对重新安置的需求。文章认为，其结果是一种鼓励难民通过声称不安全和谈判脆弱性来作弊的环境。难民们开始相信，重新安置是可以积极实现的，而不仅仅是一种只惠及真正脆弱者的福利。
Resettlement to third countries is regarded as a durable solution to refugee crises. In Kakuma refugee camp in north-west Kenya, seeking a better life in industrialized countries has become a preoccupation for many refugees. In this article the effects of the practice of third country resettlement on the camp population are explored. Increased ease of communication with the diaspora, expanded knowledge of entitlements, and the high visibility of resettlement processing within the camp have increased the demand for resettlement. The article argues that the result is an environment that encourages refugees to cheat through claiming insecurity and negotiating vulnerability. Refugees come to believe that resettlement is something that can be actively achieved, rather than a benefit extended only to the genuinely vulnerable.
