干预似乎经常导致没有人计划或预期的意外结果。这些结果中的许多可能与组织问题以及干预主义者阵营中感知现实的相关方式有关。这些知识生产和实施的过程将被解释为“耦合舞台”的模型。不同领域之间的相互作用导致了对全球南方的矛盾的间接管理。如果把旨在“建国”的干预措施的大多数问题看作是三个不同领域，即西方总部、国家大本营和“丛林”地方办事处的行为者之间互动的结果，就可以更好地理解这些问题。通常，非政府组织和国际机构也面临着由于其活动同时在不同地点进行而产生的问题。在西方总部官僚逻辑和道德政治盛行的情况下，国家大本营服从的是中介规则逻辑。最后，在布什政府的办公室里，其他地方的决策和计划要面对社会背景的逻辑，而这些社会背景往往遵循着完全不同的组织模式。我们不想像许多关于“国家建设”问题的研究那样，只指责目标社会和“腐败官员”，而是想把学术注意力转向干预本身造成的内在组织问题。
Interventions seem to regularly result in unintended outcomes that no one has planned or anticipated. Many of these outcomes can be associated with organizational problems and connected ways of perceiving reality within the interventionists’ camps. These processes of knowledge production and implementation will be explained by the model of “coupled arenas”. Interactions between different arenas lead to a contradictory indirect administration of the Global South. Most of the problems of interventions aiming at “state-building” can be better understood when conceived as results of the interactions between actors in three different arenas, namely Western headquarters, national base camps, and local offices “in the bush”. Normally, NGOs and international agencies, likewise, are facing problems stemming from the fact that their activities take place in different places simultaneously. While in the Western headquarter bureaucratic logics and moral politics prevail, the national base camp obeys to the logic of intermediary rule. Finally, in the bush office, decisions and plans taken elsewhere face the logic of social contexts which follow often entirely different patterns of organization. Instead of only blaming the target societies and “corrupt officials” as so many studies on the problems of “state-building” do, we want to redirect scholarly attention to the built-in organizational problems interventions create by themselves.
