Megaprojects: Beyond the managerial and activist traps
本文指出巨型项目研究陷入管理与行动主义陷阱，无法解决项目需求增长与批评反对加剧的悖论，提出10个未来合作方向以建立共享研究议程。
The megaprojects paradox is still there: while large investments, infrastructures, facilities, and variegated ventures are more in demand than ever, scientific criticism and public opposition are increasingly strong, and difficulties to formulate alternative policies and development patterns are notorious. The impossibility of getting out of the paradox is due to the managerial and activist traps in which the scholarship on megaprojects is caught. This paper advocates for a more direct and conscious cross-fertilization between managerial and activist approaches on megaprojects in order to overcome their respective traps. It identifies 10 axes for further future collaboration which will serve as a basis for a shared research agenda. In this research agenda, the study of megaprojects appears as an autonomous research field in which the relationship between megaprojects and development patterns is systematically assessed and the analysis of policy alternatives to megaprojects becomes pivotal.
