摘要

政府主导的大型项目建设,特别是在能源、交通、水和技术领域,正在非洲蓬勃发展,以支持快速增长的经济。由于空间的可用性,农村地区是大型项目发展的重点。无论是在规划阶段还是在实施阶段,对基础设施的期望,包括增值和互联互通,都会引发预期行为和投机行为,导致不同利益主体的融合。本文探讨了基础设施如何重新配置土地权属和改变社区拥有的保护景观的权力动态,这些景观成为基础设施建设的牺牲品。它考察了行动者和战略团体如何通过利用和影响制度变革来适当地利用和私有化公地,以及这些过程如何受到质疑和抵制。尽管全球都在努力扩大保护区,但大型项目对公共拥有和管理的自然资源的影响却很少得到学术界的关注,尤其是在非洲。以肯尼亚拉穆港南苏丹埃塞俄比亚运输走廊(LAPSSET)拟议的伊西奥罗段为例,我们展示了不对称的权力关系和冲突如何定义基础设施边界,因为不同的参与者在项目实施之前施加影响并争夺战略利益。我们认为,在这些脆弱的生态系统中,基础设施重新配置了产权制度、社会文化关系,并改变了权力和冲突动态,威胁到它们的存在。

Infrastructure-driven land appropriation, institutional change and conflict in a communal conservancy in Kenya
The construction of government-led megaprojects, particularly in the energy, transport, water and technology sectors, is booming in Africa to support fast-growing economies. Rural areas are a key focus for the development of megaprojects due to the perceived availability of space. Whether at the planning or implementation stage, expectations of infrastructure, including valorization and connectivity, fuel anticipatory behavior and speculation, leading to the convergence of different actors with different interests. This article explores how infrastructure reconfigures land tenure and changes power dynamics in community-owned conservation landscapes that fall victim to infrastructure construction. It examines how actors and strategic groups appropriate and privatize the commons by exploiting and influencing institutional change, and how these processes are contested and resisted. The impact of megaprojects on communally owned and managed natural resources has received little scholarly attention, particularly in Africa, despite the global push to expand protected areas. Using the proposed Isiolo section of the Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport Corridor (LAPSSET) in Kenya as a case study, we show how asymmetric power relations and conflict define infrastructural frontiers as different actors exert influence and compete for strategic interests prior to project implementation. We argue that infrastructure reconfigures property rights regimes, socio-cultural relations, and shifts power and conflict dynamics in these fragile ecosystems, threatening their very existence.

期刊介绍: World Development is a multi-disciplinary monthly journal of development studies. It seeks to explore ways of improving standards of living, and the human condition generally, by examining potential solutions to problems such as: poverty, unemployment, malnutrition, disease, lack of shelter, environmental degradation, inadequate scientific and technological resources, trade and payments imbalances, international debt, gender and ethnic discrimination, militarism and civil conflict, and lack of popular participation in economic and political life. Contributions offer constructive ideas and analysis, and highlight the lessons to be learned from the experiences of different nations, societies, and economies.
