Abstract This paper deals with the vocabulary of sustainability born in the struggles against extractivism in Latin America and the Caribbean, by focussing on the Pacto Ecosocial e Intercultural del Sur/Ecosocial and Intercultural Pact of the South – an initiative launched in 2020 by a group of critical scholars and activists. In the era of Green New Deals, the Pact calls for a socially conscious green transition benefiting the many. The article shows that the Pact is a counter-hegemonic proposal with a strong biocentric component.
摘要本文通过关注Pacto Ecosocial e Intercultural del Sur/南方生态社会和跨文化公约，探讨了拉丁美洲和加勒比地区在反对采掘主义的斗争中产生的可持续性词汇——这是一个由一群批判性学者和活动家于2020年发起的倡议。在绿色新政时代，《公约》呼吁实现有社会意识的绿色转型，使许多人受益。这篇文章表明，《公约》是一项反霸权提案，具有强烈的生物中心成分。

Abstract In March 1999, the people of Paraguay found themselves at an historical crossroads. At the national level and in rural communities, the legacy of the 35-year Stroessner dictatorship continued to limit the ability of democratic actors to make social and political change in the country. The old one-party rule of the Colorados confronted by international and local pressure for transformation, led to a political crisis that challenged both neoliberal development policies and the lingering authoritarian populism of the dictatorship. This essay explores a municipal infrastructure and water project sponsored by the Paraguayan government, the Peace Corps and the Inter-American Development Bank, in which the joint effort revealed tensions between emergent forms of democratisation and the goals of campesinos and their allies in the Catholic Church. Struggles for improved quality of life through infrastructure development intertwined with neoliberal modes of governance and efforts to overcome years of local authoritarian rule. Local communities sought a more active role in governing their affairs, which led to the successful implementation of Juntas de Saneamiento or ‘sanitation councils’.
摘要1999年3月，巴拉圭人民发现自己处于历史的十字路口。在国家一级和农村社区，35年的斯特罗斯纳独裁统治的遗留问题继续限制民主行为者在国家进行社会和政治变革的能力。科罗拉多人的旧一党统治面临着国际和地方的转型压力，导致了一场政治危机，既挑战了新自由主义的发展政策，也挑战了独裁时期挥之不去的威权民粹主义。本文探讨了巴拉圭政府、和平队和美洲开发银行赞助的一个市政基础设施和供水项目，在该项目中，联合努力揭示了新兴形式的民主化与坎佩西诺人及其天主教盟友的目标之间的紧张关系。通过基础设施发展与新自由主义治理模式以及克服多年地方独裁统治的努力相互交织，努力提高生活质量。当地社区寻求在管理其事务中发挥更积极的作用，这导致了Juntas de Saneamiento或“卫生委员会”的成功实施。

Abstract The economic inclusion benefits of trade integration between formal and informal markets constitute an increasingly important debate in development studies, especially regarding poverty reduction. Recent international development efforts focus on strengthening informal-to-formal (I2F) links as a win-win developmental strategy to eradicate poverty, while building upon informal-to-informal (I2I) trade relations are seen to preserve poverty. Nevertheless, research comparing these approaches is scarce. This article compares street market vendors’ integration into I2F and I2I trading links, assessing their associated economic benefits and market power dynamics. Using mixed methods, we empirically test theoretical hypotheses on a representative sample of Santiago de Chile’s street market vendors and follow the trade networks of branded and unbranded street market products through 50 in-depth interviews. The results suggest that street vendors’ I2I trade can constitute a highly specialised, structured and nationwide trade network that can rival the poverty alleviation potential of I2F trade networks. Compared with I2F trade links, I2I networks reduce opportunities for exploitation and allow street vendors to obtain higher income. Consequently, building a more robust articulation of street vendors and informal firms into trade networks merits more attention in development studies as a potential alternative to I2F strategies when fostering street vendors’ economic inclusion.

Abstract Poverty as an object of study in India continues to be the domain of economists, statisticians and demographers. The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSS) serves as the main instrument of data collection to measure poverty relative to economic indicators. In this paper we draw on strengths-based research undertaken in an Indian village to foreground alternative ways of conceptualising and practising data collection when measuring poverty. Explored through an analytics of biopolitics, asset-mapping exercises with young people and women revealed new subjectivities that emerged via illustrative meaning-making and dialogue. This approach to poverty measurement facilitated methods and produced outcomes that were less calculated and predefined than the NSS, and encouraged participation, even questioning of the status quo, in the ‘doing’ of the methodology itself. A strengths orientation to poverty opens up radical possibilities, particularly in India where the state-sanctioned self-governing body, the Gram Sabhas, has a mandate to provide for the most marginalised groups. And while this governing body is not free from power imbalances, the potential it offers, when combined with strengths-based approaches (SBA) that value people for the expertise they already have, demands renewed attention in practitioner and policy debates in the country.

Abstract How do external actors promote regional international organisations (RIOs) through their regional foreign aid? Whereas most leading theories of regionalism stipulate that RIOs are designed and shaped by intra-regional actors from ‘within’, this study develops a novel framework for exploring donor involvement in RIOs during various stages of the foreign aid policy cycle. The research design is based on a comparison of the four largest European donors of regional foreign aid (EU, Germany, Sweden and the UK) towards the largest recipient in Africa (African Union). The comparative analysis reveals considerable variation and each donor employ their own distinct approach, which we conceptualise as Bully (EU), Overseer (UK), Micromanager (Germany) and Samaritan (Sweden). This comparative design enables us not only to escape the EU-centrism that currently distorts the research field but also to analyse the different ways by which European donors try to influence and even control RIOs in Africa through their foreign aid. The deep donor involvement in RIOs in Africa challenges us to rethink external intrusion, the meaning of ownership as well as conventional boundaries of ‘inside’/’outside’ in the study of regionalism.

Abstract This article examines the subcontracting arrangements that apply to microenterprises operating in the informal economy in East Java, Indonesia. A qualitative study was carried out in which the snowball technique made it possible to obtain the details of both the formal and informal company owners, who were then interviewed with the purpose of gaining a deeper understanding of the subcontracting relations. Formal export companies outsource to micro family businesses in the subcontracting market as a way to optimise production. Our study highlights the fact that formal and informal companies are located in the same communities. Subcontracting relations are hence based on trust and cooperation, which are key to minimising production costs.
