Abstract

This paper examines how Impact Investment (II) becomes part and transforms structured accumulation regimes and circuits, with a particular emphasis on South Africa's agricultural sector. Through the joint implementation of a macro study of the South African II circuits, and a micro study of a particular II fund's practices and impacts, the paper develops an in-depth political economy assessment of II circuits in order to historicize these circuits, to map the South African II community, and to characterize the power balances presently structuring it. Rather than highlighting ruptures, it draws the attention to the historical continuities and path-dependencies as II related tools are rooted into older financial practices, shaping today's II development and practice - hence questioning II as a tool for empowerment.

南非的影响力投资:投资于赋权,赋权于投资者
本文考察了影响力投资(II)如何成为结构性积累机制和循环的一部分,并特别强调了南非的农业部门。通过对南非II型电路的宏观研究和对特定II型基金的实践和影响的微观研究的联合实施,本文对II型电路进行了深入的政治经济学评估,以便将这些电路历史化,绘制南非II型社区的地图,并表征目前构建它的权力平衡。它没有强调断裂,而是将注意力吸引到历史的连续性和路径依赖性上,因为与II相关的工具根植于旧的金融实践,塑造了今天的II发展和实践——因此质疑II作为赋权工具的作用。
