When refugees flee war and persecution, protection and assistance
are usually provided by United Nations organisations and their NGO
implementing partners. In camps and cities, the dominant
humanitarian model remains premised upon a provider-beneficiary
relationship. In parallel to this model, however, is a largely
neglected story: refugees themselves frequently mobilise to create
organisations or networks as alternative providers of social
protection. Based on fieldwork in refugee camps and cities in
Uganda and Kenya, this book examines how refugee-led organisations
emerge, the forms they take, and their interactions with
international institutions. Developing an original theoretical
framework based on the concept of 'the global governed', the book
shows how power and hierarchy mediate the seemingly benign notion
of protection. Drawing upon ideas from anthropology and
international relations, it offers an alternative vision for more
participatory global governance, of relevance to other
policy-fields including development, humanitarianism, health,
peacekeeping, and child protection.
