ABSTRACTThis paper argues that there can be no category of ‘affected people’ without a decision-making process that triggers affectedness in the first place. In that sense, affectedness is a category that is by default, although not irreversibly, ‘tied’ to a certain institutional context. In this paper, I examine such ‘tied’ quality of affectedness by focusing on the benefits and dangers of the affectedness paradigm to grassroots organisations in the context of World Bank projects. Whilst in principle the category of ‘affected people’ seems to empower the grassroots, this article argues that the danger of institutional co-optation in this context is also high. The World Bank and its borrowers have full discretion to include, but also to exclude, people from this category. Therefore, the voices of grassroots organisations relying on this paradigm can be instrumentalised and distorted. This article suggests that mediation can help to ‘untie’ affectedness from the top-down institutional discourse, in order t...

ABSTRACTPersons and groups affected by the choices and actions of international institutions increasingly claim to have a say in their making. They challenge governments, international bureaucrats, and classic NGOs for lacking legitimacy and acting in ways that disregard too many people’s legitimate concerns. To study these recent developments, this collection brings together political science and international law scholars. Based on their observations, the introduction makes three major contributions: First, it conceptualises the rising involvement of affected persons’ organisations (APOs) in global governance as a turn to affectedness-participation. As the contributions to this collection demonstrate, affected persons and groups by now participate in many areas of global rule- and law-making. Second, the introduction shows that their participation addresses current legitimacy problems of international public policy making and transnational (self-)governance. APOs often make innovative policy demands, ar...

ABSTRACTWe can observe a growing discourse in the humanitarian sector to ‘localise’, ie provide national NGOs and civil society organisations with a leading role in affected countries. Yet, structural hierarchies and inherently discriminating practices based on solidified patterns of perception (frames) of local actors impede rapid progress towards this goal on the field level. In order to elucidate these mechanisms, I will from an anthropological perspective first outline the structural and discursive factors within the humanitarian system that serve as obstacles to more participatory and localised approaches. I will then present empirical data from my field research on the humanitarian action of a European NGO in Haiti after Hurricane Matthew. Despite a high degree of ethical concern and critical reflectivity among the management staff, many practices still exclude local actors, and the way they are framed reflects strong tendencies towards both securitisation and paternalism.

ABSTRACTIndigenous peoples belong to those societal groups most heavily affected by the impacts of climate change and by governance arrangements on forests. In more recent years they have strived to bring their concerns to the fore in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This paper investigates how indigenous peoples have framed their participation in REDD+, an initiative to protect forests to combat climate change. Indigenous peoples reframed their affectedness that results from their proximity to, and dependence on, forests, into an asset by emphasising their specific knowledge and expertise in managing natural forests. This reframing can be seen as an example of the spread of the ‘affectedness paradigm’ in global (climate) politics that manifests itself across levels. At the UNFCCC, indigenous peoples have managed to expand the recognition of their rights through REDD+ decisions. REDD+ financing initiatives outside the UNFCCC have adopted detailed rules to expand indigeno...
