在过去几年中，私营部门组织作为发展进程的行动者和投资者的作用受到越来越多的注意。本文探讨了斯里兰卡“慈善民族主义”的兴起：商业和慈善方法的共同发展，作为对战后环境中赞助、国有化和军事化的回应。通过对本土企业社会责任（CSR）形式的民族志研究，本文确定了四种慈善主义实践——被动的、同化的、反应的和合作的——它们为该岛的私营部门发展倡议提供了逻辑、机制和伦理，同时促进了“僧伽罗佛教”民族国家的愿景。注意到缅甸出现了类似的慈善主义实践，文章最后认为，斯里兰卡的案例不太可能是独一无二的，并呼吁进一步研究世界各地冲突/冲突后进程中私人慈善与民族主义运动之间出现的伙伴关系。
Over the past few years, the role of private sector organizations as actors and investors in development processes has received increased attention. This article explores the rise of ‘philanthronationalism’ in Sri Lanka: the co‐development of business and philanthropy methods as a response to patronage, nationalization and militarization in the post‐war environment. Drawing on ethnographic research into indigenous forms of corporate social responsibility (CSR), the article identifies four kinds of philanthronationalist practice — passive, assimilative, reactive and collaborative — that provide a logic, mechanism and ethic for private sector development initiatives in the island whilst promoting a vision of the ‘Sinhala Buddhist’ nation state. Noting the emergence of similar philanthronationalist practices in Myanmar, the article concludes by arguing that the Sri Lankan case is unlikely to be unique and calls for further research into the partnerships that emerge between private philanthropy and nationalist movements in conflict/post‐conflict processes around the world.
