本文探讨了国际危机组织(icg)对利比里亚和塞拉利昂内战的解释与当时主要学术“贪婪与不满”辩论之间的关系。这表明,国际协调小组的早期政策建议基本上与这些战争是由“机会主义军阀主义”引起的解释相一致。然而,在其早期报告的分析部分和后来报告的政策建议中,这种假定的因果关系并不那么明显。这些相互矛盾的调查结果既表明了该委员会内部的事态发展,也表明了该委员会的“两面性”:该委员会试图利用在冲突或转型期国家实地进行的详细经验分析来影响决策者,但也意识到决策者一般不阅读长篇报告,因此它为这一目标受众编写执行摘要和政策建议。文章认为,政策建议不能工作,没有分析部分的报告:分析部分的主要功能是增加合法性的政策建议和组织整体,有助于其形象作为一个真正的“实地生产者”的危机知识,并培养其专家权威。
This article explores the relationship between the International Crisis Group’s (icg) interpretation of the civil wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone and the main academic ‘greed and grievance’ debate at the time. It shows that theicg’s early policy recommendations were basically in line with the interpretation of these wars as caused by ‘opportunistic warlordism’. However, this supposed causal link is less evident in the analytical parts of its early reports, and in the policy recommendations of later reports. These contradictory findings point to both internal developments within theicgand to its ‘two faces’: it seeks to influence policy makers using detailed empirical analysis on the ground in countries in conflict or transition, but is also aware that policy makers do not generally read long reports, thus it produces executive summary and policy recommendations for this target audience. The article argues that policy recommendations cannot work without the analytical parts of the reports: the analysis sections’ main function is to add legitimacy to policy recommendations and the organisation overall, contributing to its image as a genuine ‘on-the-ground producer’ of crisis knowledge and fostering its expert authority.
