摘要

在这篇文章中,我们探讨了殖民主义的逻辑和系统是如何通过国际援助的官僚主义再现的。通过对缅甸民间社会和国际援助工作者的定性研究,我们研究了国际机构“不伤害”和“本地化”承诺及其遵守要求之间的紧张关系。我们证明,领导援助项目的民间社会行为者认为,国际合规框架是自上而下的,过于严格,可能会产生意想不到的负面后果,对缅甸援助工作者和社区造成伤害。这些框架还通过重视国际机构的技术官僚知识和方法,而不是民间社会行动者的“存在方式”,以及通过明确“地方”和“国际”之间人为的等级区分,加强了殖民主义的逻辑和系统。合规系统反过来又突出了当前“本地化”努力的不足之处,这些努力未能认识到并纠正国际人道主义行业中根深蒂固的不平等和不公正。

Compliance and coloniality: aid bureaucracy and the failures of ‘localisation’ in Myanmar's complex emergency

In this article, we explore how logics and systems of coloniality are reproduced through the bureaucracy of international aid. Drawing on qualitative research with civil society and international aid workers in Myanmar, we examine tensions between international agencies' ‘do no harm’ and ‘localisation’ commitments and their compliance requirements. We demonstrate that international compliance frameworks are experienced as top-down and overly rigid by civil society actors leading aid programmes, and that they can have unintended negative consequences, causing harm to Myanmar aid workers and communities. These frameworks also reinforce logics and systems of coloniality, by valuing the technocratic knowledge and approaches of international agencies over the ‘ways of being’ of civil society actors, and by crystallising artificial and hierarchical distinctions between the ‘local’ and ‘international’. Compliance systems in turn highlight the inadequacies of current ‘localisation’ endeavours, which fail to recognise and redress deep-seated inequalities and injustices in the international humanitarian industry.
