Mobilisierung der Diaspora
Welche Rolle spielen Flüchtlingsgemeinschaften bei der Finanzierung von Bürgerkriegen?

Auf der Grundlage mehrmonatiger Feldforschungsaufenthalte in beiden Konfliktländern beschreibt sie, mit welchen Strategien die Flüchtlinge moralisch unter Druck gesetzt werden. Eine ursprünglich freiwillige Gabe wird so zu einer Pflichtabgabe für den bewaffneten Kampf.
