本文提出了一套理论问题,在撒哈拉以南非洲地区的组织应对艾滋病的文化和治理。报告借鉴了对撒哈拉以南非洲的两次访问(2003年7月访问博茨瓦纳,2004年6月和7月访问马拉维)的材料:在撒哈拉以南非洲治理的各种背景下采访政府官员、国际组织代表和艾滋病非政府组织工作人员。本文探讨了艾滋病治理的关系,现有的非洲治理模式,并认为,虽然“制度同构”可以由国际资助者,这种努力往往产生矛盾的结果在地面上。它试图理解为什么艾滋病非政府组织提供的组织模式和现有的权威和合作模式之间的交叉点产生融合,颠覆,或只是一个僵局。
This article raises a set of theoretical questions about culture and governance in organizational responses to AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. It draws on material from two visits to sub-Saharan Africa (Botswana in July 2003 and Malawi in June and July of 2004): interviews with government officials, international organization representatives and staff from AIDS NGOs across a variety of settings in sub-Saharan governance. The article examines the relation of AIDS governance to existing patterns of African governance and argues that while 'institutional isomorphism' can be imposed by international funders, such efforts often produce paradoxical outcomes on the ground. It seeks to understand why the intersection between the organizational models proffered by AIDS NGOs and existing patterns of authority and cooperation produce either syncretism, subversion, or simply a standoff.
