ABSTRACT Despite an exponential increase in international resources devoted to the Sahel, the situation on the ground continues to deteriorate. This is largely due to the so-called “fragility dilemma”, faced by fragile states that are in critical need of external assistance, but have limited absorption capacity and are governed by sitting regimes that dictate the terms and upon which external actors must rely. This dilemma has contributed to an increasing divergence between a state-centric regional and a people-centric transnational security complex. In particular, a heavy-handed approach to violent extremism and external policies aimed at curbing irregular migration have had a number of unintended consequences, disrupting livelihoods and further exacerbating instability in the Sahelian states.

萨赫勒地区的脆弱性困境和不同的安全综合体

摘要 尽管用于萨赫勒的国际资源呈指数增长，但当地局势仍在继续恶化。这主要是由于所谓的“脆弱性困境”，脆弱国家面临着急需外部援助但吸收能力有限且由规定条件和外部行为者必须依赖的现有制度管理的脆弱国家。这种困境导致以国家为中心的地区与以人民为中心的跨国安全综合体之间的分歧越来越大。尤其是，针对暴力极端主义和旨在遏制非正常移民的外部政策采取强硬手段，产生了许多意想不到的后果，扰乱了萨赫勒国家的生计，并进一步加剧了不稳定。
