ABSTRACT

State bureaucratic settings and associated governance patterns have an enormous impact on the planning and implementation of a country's climate development policy. Contextually, a typical superior bureaucratic framework with its decision-making power centred on climate adaptation projects funding prevails in Bangladesh. This paper deploys the concepts of Weberian bureaucracy and super-bureaucracy and its governance pattern to explore the power attributes of climate bureaus and associated bureaucratic practices and decision-making behaviour regarding adaptation funding in climate adaptation governance. The study employs all climate adaptation development projects (n = 573) financing in Bangladesh. The analysis finds that the general administration cadre employees rather than technical professionals are involved in multiple decision-making processes, including appraisal and approval and monitoring and evaluating projects holding powerful pivotal positions both centrally and locally. These super bureaus also expand their power resources in climate adaptation policy by governing big adaptation projects, keeping the project director position, and approving the said position. The power capabilities and interests of the super-bureaus accrue by creating new climate institutions too. The decision-making behaviour and governance pattern underpin a state of super-bureaucracy, which are not supportive enough of innovative policy-making through inclusive participation and collective decision-making for governing dynamic climate adaptation policy.

孟加拉国气候适应治理中的超级官僚主义

摘要

国家官僚机构和相关治理模式对国家气候发展政策的规划和实施具有巨大影响。从上下文来看,孟加拉国盛行一个典型的高级官僚框架,其决策权以气候适应项目资金为中心。本文运用韦伯式的官僚制和超级官僚制的概念及其治理模式,探讨气候局在气候适应治理中的权力属性以及相关的官僚主义实践和决策行为。该研究采用了孟加拉国的所有气候适应发展项目 (n = 573) 融资。分析发现,综合行政干部员工而不是技术专业人员参与了多个决策过程,包括评估和批准以及监控和评估在中央和地方都具有强大关键地位的项目。这些超级局还通过管理大型适应项目、保留项目主任职位和批准上述职位来扩大其在气候适应政策方面的权力资源。超级局的权力能力和利益也通过创建新的气候机构而增加。决策行为和治理模式支撑着一种超级官僚主义的状态,它们不足以支持通过包容性参与和集体决策来管理动态气候适应政策的创新决策。包括对中央和地方具有重要关键地位的项目的审评审批和监测评估。这些超级局还通过管理大型适应项目、保留项目主任职位和批准上述职位来扩大其在气候适应政策方面的权力资源。超级局的权力能力和利益也通过创建新的气候机构而增加。决策行为和治理模式支撑着一种超级官僚主义的状态,它们不足以支持通过包容性参与和集体决策来管理动态气候适应政策的创新决策。包括对中央和地方具有重要关键地位的项目的审评审批和监测评估。这些超级局还通过管理大型适应项目、保留项目主任职位和批准上述职位来扩大其在气候适应政策方面的权力资源。超级局的权力能力和利益也通过创建新的气候机构而增加。决策行为和治理模式支撑着一种超级官僚主义的状态,它们不足以支持通过包容性参与和集体决策来管理动态气候适应政策的创新决策。这些超级局还通过管理大型适应项目、保留项目主任职位和批准上述职位来扩大其在气候适应政策方面的权力资源。超级局的权力能力和利益也通过创建新的气候机构而增加。决策行为和治理模式支撑着一种超级官僚主义的状态,它们不足以支持通过包容性参与和集体决策来管理动态气候适应政策的创新决策。这些超级局还通过管理大型适应项目、保留项目主任职位和批准上述职位来扩大其在气候适应政策方面的权力资源。超级局的权力能力和利益也通过创建新的气候机构而增加。决策行为和治理模式支撑着一种超级官僚主义的状态,它们不足以支持通过包容性参与和集体决策来管理动态气候适应政策的创新决策。
