ABSTRACT

This paper explores how the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP), as an example of contemporary bottom-up development practices in the global South, governs nomadic pastoralists in the peripheries. Based on fieldwork in Ethiopia's Somali region, we show that PSNP practices of client targeting, community-based public works and (international) financial resource flows, both for their own sake and because of their entanglement with the sedentary metaphysics of Ethiopian state, have advanced sedentary governmental order into pastoral peripheries more than top-down state sedentarization interventions had ever done. Finally, we argue that bottom-up development practice is an effective tool for state-building in the periphery.

摘要

本文探讨了作为全球南方当代自下而上发展实践的一个例子的生产安全网计划 (PSNP) 如何管理外围的游牧牧民。基于在埃塞俄比亚索马里地区的实地调查，我们表明 PSNP 的客户定位、基于社区的公共工程和（国际）金融资源流动的实践，无论是为了它们自身的利益，还是因为它们与埃塞俄比亚国家久坐不动的形而上学的纠缠，都取得了进步对牧区外围的定居政府秩序比自上而下的国家定居干预措施做得更多。最后，我们认为自下而上的发展实践是外围国家建设的有效工具。
