本文探讨了索马里战争中的抢劫行为。抢劫并非主要出于经济目的,而是一种复杂和模糊的社会活动,它植根于日常做法和战争的政治辞令中。在索马里,抢劫活动有各种各样的动机,包括军事战略考虑和(或)报复过去暴行和(感觉到的)不公正的愿望,以及经济利益。此外,抢劫者的组织结构、行动表现和主要目标也大相径庭。基于对索马里战争和国家衰落背景下不同阶段和不同阶段的抢劫行为的实证分析,本文确定了五种抢劫类型。除了以国家为中心的秩序概念化之外,该研究还表明,抢劫并不是政治混乱的表现,而是由当地的道德宇宙所塑造并植根于当地的道德宇宙,这些道德宇宙在该国自20世纪70年代末以来的暴力冲突过程中发生了根本性的变化。
This paper examines practices of looting in the Somali war. Rather than being inspired primarily by economic objectives, lootings are complex and ambiguous social activities, which are embedded in daily practices and the political rhetoric of the war. In Somalia, looting activities have been driven by a broad range of motives, including military-strategic considerations and/or desire to revenge past atrocities and (perceived) injustices, as well as economic interests. Furthermore, the organisational structure, the performance of actions and the main targets of looters have differed widely. Based on an empirical analysis of different waves and phases of looting in the context of war and state decay in Somalia, the paper identifies five types of looting. Beyond a state-centred conceptualisation of order, the study reveals that looting is not an expression of political chaos, but rather is patterned by and rooted in local moral universes, which have been fundamentally transformed during the course of the violent conflicts in the country since the end of the 1970s.
