The aim of this article is to understand how power, hegemony, and solidarity are related within the context of foreign aid from the perspective of recipient civil society organizations. By applying qualitative methods and the analytical framework of foreign aid understood as gift, the study explores how these factors are perceived, described, and explained by Palestinian nongovernmental organization leaders. The findings prove that even the “perpetual” recipient can exert certain nonmaterial power over the donor. In the Palestinian case, it is the weakness itself—the combination of helplessness and injustice—which can be understood as “power” even if not as “power over” the donor but at least “power to” secure foreign aid.

霸权团结？非政府组织对权力、团结和与捐助者合作的看法

本文的目的是从受援民间社会组织的角度理解在外援背景下权力、霸权和团结之间的关系。通过应用定性方法和将外援理解为礼物的分析框架，该研究探讨了巴勒斯坦非政府组织领导人如何看待、描述和解释这些因素。研究结果证明，即使是“永久”接受者也可以对捐赠者施加某些非物质权力。在巴勒斯坦的案例中，弱点本身——无助和不公正的结合——可以被理解为“权力”，即使不是“对捐助者的权力”，但至少是“获得外援的权力”。
