Cet article défend l'idée que l'élaboration d'une citoyenneté dans les camps transcende l'État-nation par sa référence à la communauté internationale. La gestion des déplacements forcés de population « fabrique » en fait du réfugié afin de ne pas interférer avec l'« ordre national des choses ». Dans les camps, les réfugiés sont exclus de l'État-nation et exercent un contrôle restreint sur leur propre vie, mais ils voient en même temps leur existence reconnue par les « grandes nations ». Or, la communauté internationale est perçue comme supérieure à l'État-nation. Résultat paradoxal, le statut de réfugié a pu devenir plus attrayant que la citoyenneté du pays d'accueil.
