本文考察了雪佛龙在孟加拉国一个天然气田的企业社会责任计划。虽然在Bibiyana气田周围的村庄建立了明显的伙伴关系，但我们建议该公司通过其社区发展计划和就业政策保持与当地居民的分离。这种矛盾被全球发展话语中的思想和实践所掩盖，这些话语通过可持续性的言辞来庆祝捐助者的脱节和脱离参与。通过强调自力更生、创业精神和“帮助人们自助”来强调发展实践和新自由主义价值观，该公司的社区参与计划在满足当地人民希望就业和长期投资的需求方面做得很少，这种联系形式与自力更生和可持续发展的话语不一致。
This paper examines Chevron's programme of CSR at a gas field in Bangladesh. Whilst apparently building partnerships in the villages that surround the Bibiyana Gas Field, we suggest that the corporation remains detached from the local population via their community development programmes and employment policies. This contradiction is submerged by ideas and practices within global development discourse which celebrate the disconnection and disengagement of donors via the rhetoric of sustainability. Chiming with development praxis and the neo-liberal values which underscore it by stressing self-reliance, entrepreneurship and ‘helping people to help themselves’, the corporation's Community Engagement Programme does little to meet the demands of local people who hoped for employment and long term investment, a form of connection that is discordant to discourses of self-reliance and sustainability.
