摘要
Recent studies of 'complex emergencies' interpret famines as linked with wars rather than with economic breakdown. Taking a Derridean approach, this article argues that 'force' was already present in Amartya Sen's notion of entitlements, even in the absence of military conflict. Rather than seeing famines and poverty as problems that call for technical solutions from 'experts', what is needed is political and ethical engagement.
