Schemes for more responsible global governance have often come with new ways of thwarting meaningful voice, participation and dissent of those they are claimed to be beneficial for. This article argues that these processes extend beyond the more often criticized disciplinary effects of civil society promotion and community participation, which, despite a rhetoric of empowerment and emancipation, also contribute to containing protest within narrow confines of technocratic management. Using the case of transnational resource governance and examples from multinational mining companies in Tanzania, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and South Africa, the article demonstrates that alongside the ‘air-conditioned’ politics of participatory development and corporate social responsibility operate the ‘veranda’ politics of transnational governance: practices of stabilizing order and containing dissent through transnational clientelist practices. These do not operate despite or outside liberal global governance but are an inherent part of it. The article contributes to understanding the manifold ways in which dissent is disciplined in global governance, pushing critical engagement with indirect technologies of government further and beyond the liberal self-image.

跨国客户主义，全球（资源）治理和异议纪律

负责任的全球治理计划通常采用新的方式来挫败他们自称有益的声音，参与和反对意见。本文认为，这些过程超出了民间社会促进和社区参与的更经常受到批评的纪律影响，尽管有赋权和解放的言论，但也有助于将抗议活动限制在技术官僚主义管理的狭窄范围之内。本文以跨国资源治理为例，并以坦桑尼亚，刚果民主共和国（DRC）和南非的跨国矿业公司为例，证明了参与式发展和企业社会责任的“空调”政治与“阳台的跨国治理政治：通过跨国客户代表实践来稳定秩序和遏制异议的实践。尽管存在或不存在自由全球治理，但这些机制并未发挥作用，而是其固有组成部分。本文有助于理解在全球治理中对异议进行纪律处分的多种方式，从而进一步推动与政府间接技术的批判性接触，超越自由主义的自我形象。
