The Politics of Climate Change Adaptation in Development: Authority, Resource Control and State Intervention in Rural Zambia
研究了赞比亚气候变化适应干预如何成为中央政府扩展对自然资源权威和控制的一部分,以及地方政府和酋长等机构行为者如何抵制这种干预,揭示了适应政策背后的深层政治和制度斗争。
In this article, we call for more attention to the national and local politics of climate change in developing countries, and contribute to this through a study of climate change adaptation interventions in Zambia. We show how such interventions form part of central state efforts to extend authority and control over natural resources, and how competing institutional actors such as local governments and chiefs seek to counter this. The article thereby shows how climate change adaptation is emerging as a new arena for deep-seated political and institutional struggles over issues such as authority, land control and devolution in development.
