Fragile and conflict affected states are exceedingly vulnerable to the consequences of climate change and natural hazards. Although a large amount of research recognizes a connection between conflict, state fragility and disaster risks, the area is still largely under-developed. In this study, the case of Haiti is used to explore the complex nature of disaster governance in a highly fragile and conflict affected context (FCAC). The study seeks to contribute to the research gap on disaster governance is conflict areas by examining the roles of international humanitarian actors in three different post-disaster contexts in Haiti: the 2010 earthquake, hurricane Matthew in 2016 and the 2021 earthquake. Through the analytical lens of social contract theory, the study aims to contribute to increased understanding of relationships between actors in disaster governance, by exploring how social contracts can be characterized in FCAC. The findings of this study show the need for an expanded view of social contracts in FCAC in order to improve disaster governance in contexts with a fragile state-society relationship. The study argues that the normative view of a state-society social contract of mutual trust and expectations is not applicable to the post-colonial context of Haiti. Instead, the findings reveal a complex web of power relations connected to both international, national and local actors.
