Faglege interesser
Forskinga mi dreier seg om den palestinske nasjonalrørsla, sosiopolitisk liv i flyktningleirar, og militante ikkje-statlege rørsler i Palestina og Libanon. I 2021 gav eg ut boka The Palestinian National Movement in Lebanon: A Political History of the 'Ayn al-Hilwe Camp, som bygger på fleire lange feltarbeid i dei palestinske flytkningleirane i Libanon (og Vestbreidda). Mellom 2019-22 var eg ein del av prosjektet Rebel Governance in the Middle East som utforska dynamikken mellom opprørsstyrkar og slektskapsgrupper i fleire land i Midtausten. Prosjektet resulterte nyleg i ei artikkelsamling som eg redigerte saman med prosjektleiar Dag Tuastad. Sidan desember 2022 har eg arbeidd som førstelektor i Midtaustenstudiar (med arabisk språk) ved IKOS.

Predating the violence in Gaza and rising tensions in Jerusalem, Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas cancelled what were supposed to be the first national elections in fifteen years. While there is no direct link between his decision and ongoing events, an analysis of the elections that did not take place offers insight into Palestinian frustrations with the Israeli occupation, and a leadership that has failed them, write Jørgen Jensehaugen and Erling Lorentzen Sogge

No one can Rule Us. Politics of exile in the Refugee camp ‘Ayn Al-Hilwe, Capital of the Palestinian Diaspora (1993-2017).
07 Gruppen.
Vis sammendrag
The aim of this study is to investigate Palestinian politics in exile by exploring the trajectory of refugee camp ‘Ayn al-Hilwe in South Lebanon, from the signing of the Oslo accords (1993) until the present day (2017).
As an autonomous refugee camp governed by a patchwork of Palestinian para-military political factions, 'Ayn al Hilwe has come to serve as a symbol of Palestinian resistance outside of the homeland. Nicknamed the “Capital of the Diaspora”, the camp is many ways indicative of the current predicament the Palestinian people — they are without a state, but not without forms of sovereignty. While the Oslo peace accords saw the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and its main movement, Fatah, take on the role as state-supporting entities and vowed to end their armed struggle against Israel, these organizations have continued to exist as guerilla movements in the camps of Lebanon. This study offers insight into the ways in which the contentious struggles ofa fragmented Palestinian national movement continue in the refugee camps ofthe diaspora, while the fate of the homeland remains undecided.
Why has the camp remained so contested? Despite being surrounded by fences, checkpoints and constituting an impoverished urban slum, ‘Ayn al—Hilwe offers something the Palestinians hardly enjoy anywhere else in the world, let alone in Palestine: autonomy. That being said, the self-governed camp does not operate within the boundaries of conventional statehood. In a place ruled by rival guerilla movements, the art of manipulating fragile power balances between the many armed forces — to claim influence by disrupting others, influence — becomes the main way of exerting control. Local militia leaders become influential powerbrokers by virtue of facilitating or obstructing the access ofa wide array of political forces vying to stake their claim in these autonomous spaces, or to speak on behalf ofthe Palestinian refugees, ranging from the PLO, to Syria, Iran, the Gulf countries or others.
These acts of contention are not only employed by typical oppositional movements such as the Damascus-based Alliance of Palestinian Forces (APF) and Hamas, but run deep within the local chapters of the Fatah movement and the PLO itself — all of whom have steadily reinforced their presence within the camps of Lebanon since Israel’s withdrawal from the country at the turn ofthe millennium. A range of other actors have also thrown themselves into the struggle for the camp space, ranging from jihadis with ties to al-Qaida to Palestinian youth activists and protest movements. Moreover, Lebanese state actors across political blocs have attempted to initiate alliances with their respective proxy groups within the camp, as a means of attaining influence in territories beyond the fragmented state’s control.
Scholars have tended to overlook the internal dynamics of refugee camps. Drawing on the theories of philosopher Giorgio Agamben, researches have depicted the camps as “spaces of exception,” where the encamped populations live at the mercy of a sovereign, repressive state. While the agency of the sovereignties within the camp are to a lesser degree discussed. Others have simply concluded that ‘Ayn al-Hilwe and the camps of Lebanon fell into a state of lawlessness after the PLO initially abandoned the Palestinian diaspora following the Oslo accords, allowing them to become breeding grounds for international terrorism.
Based on extensive fieldwork and archival research, this study seeks to move beyond these conceptualizations of the camp space, and strives to offer a deeper understanding of the Capital of the Diaspora”s internal life. Arguing that ‘Ayn al-Hilwe has retained the function of a Palestinian state-in-exile, the dissertation offers valuable insight into how the refugee camps of the near diaspora have continued to play a role in Palestinian politics beyond the Oslo accords.
