"Flüchtlingslager sind nicht nur Orte, wo vorübergehender Schutz und erste humanitäre Hilfe angeboten werden, sondern auch Orte, an denen politische und soziale Produktion stattfindet. In Regionen wie dem Horn von Afrika mit einer langen Tradition an internationalen Interventionen in Form von humanitärer Hilfe waren Flüchtlingslager untrennbar eingebettet in lokale und soziale politische Machtstrukturen und Dynamiken, die sowohl ihre Ziele als auch ihre Aktionen transformierten. Das Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, solche Transformationen unter Berücksichtigung der besonderen Bedingungen des Staatszerfalls als Teil einer lokalen sozialen Geschichte zu analysieren, der Somaliland in den frühen 1990ern kennzeichnete. Des Weiteren möchte der Autor zeigen, wie in der Verflechtung von institutionellem Verfall, Kriegen und internationalen Interventionen neue Gleichgewichte und Regierungsformen entstanden, die eine Art Genealogie des neuen öffentlichen Bereichs darstellen, der sich aus verschiedenen Akteuren, die neben dem Staat bestehen, zusammensetzt."

"Refugee camps are not simply places where temporary protection and primary assistance is provided, but also places in which political and social production occurs. In areas such as Horn of Africa, with a long tradition of international interventions in the form of humanitarian aid, refugee camps have been intrinsically embedded within local social and political power structures and dynamics, which have deeply transformed both their aims and actions. The purpose of this article is to analyze such transformations as part of a local social history, particularly under the peculiar condition of State collapse which has characterized Somaliland in the early 1990s. Furthermore, the author will try to show how, in the interlacing of institutional collapse, war and international interventions, new equilibriums and forms of government have emerged, thus contributing to depict a kind of genealogy of the new public realm in Somaliland, composed of various actors standing beside the state."
