Conjuring ‘Win-World’ – Resilient Development Narratives in a Large-Scale Agro-Investment in Tanzania
通过瑞典发展机构支持一家瑞典公司在坦桑尼亚实施甘蔗大规模农业投资的公私合作案例，揭示了‘赢世界’这一韧性发展叙事如何被推广者维持，并发现发展私有化增强了叙事对自身缺陷证据的抵抗力。
Through a case study of a public-private partnership (PPP) for development in which the Swedish development agency Sida supported a Swedish company trying to implement a large-scale agro-investment in sugarcane in Tanzania, we unpack the underpinnings of what we call ‘win-world’, a resilient development narrative maintained by actors promoting the investment. Rich empirical descriptions show that this narrative was highly resilient to accumulated academic knowledge and current real-world problems. We found that the privatisation of development increased the resilience of the narrative to evidence of its own shortcomings.
