本文探讨了“自然”灾害对武装冲突的影响，重点是2004年印度洋海啸后亚齐和斯里兰卡分离主义冲突的演变。大多数研究表明，“自然”灾害加剧了先前存在的冲突。然而，尽管斯里兰卡的冲突在海啸发生后一年内确实升级，但亚齐的敌对行动却出人意料地在八个月内结束。借鉴在亚齐的比较分析框架和半结构化的实地采访，研究指出，在解释不同的政治结果在亚齐和斯里兰卡的空间维度的重要性，重点是重塑海啸后的治理空间。
This paper explores the impact of ‘natural’ disasters on armed conflicts, focusing on the evolution of secessionist conflicts in Aceh and Sri Lanka following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Most studies suggest that ‘natural’ disasters exacerbate pre-existing conflicts. Yet whereas conflict did escalate in Sri Lanka within a year of the tsunami, in Aceh hostilities unexpectedly ended within eight months. Drawing on a comparative analytical framework and semi-structured fieldwork interviews in Aceh, the study points to the importance of spatial dimensions in explaining diverging political outcomes in Aceh and Sri Lanka, focusing on the reshaping of governable spaces following the tsunami.
