“…Second, the weakness of the institutional environmental protection framework appears to hamper the introduction of CSR practices. Froger and Andriamahefazafy () highlight the inadequate control and monitoring mechanisms, the existence of wheeling and dealing, and corruption.…”

Environmental Upgrading of Developing Country Firms in Global Value Chains

2015

While the strategic management literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR) is abundant, it tends to consider the context of developed countries, with a focus on certain specific issues such as the strategic behaviour of firms with regard to sustainable development and the economic benefits of CSR practices. The present study examines the influence of western organizations on responsible corporate behaviour in developing countries, an issue that has been somewhat neglected in the existing academic literature. In particular, it explores the environmental upgrading of developing country firms in global value chains. This research, conducted with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, involves 24 Tunisian olive oil companies. The findings indicate that exporting companies have indeed benefited from environmental upgrading, but, because of the cooperation strategy adopted by leading western firms (imposition of standards) and the absence of financial and technical assistance, the extent of environmental upgrading remains limited.

“…Concurrently, protected areas, designed to safeguard forests from rural peasants’ farming practices, were becoming a way to protect and isolate “the environment” so that its protection did not impede economic growth. In 1996 the World Bank and International Monetary Fund launched the Highly Indebted Poor Country initiative and began requiring aid recipient countries to develop Poverty Reduction Strategy Plans (PRSPs) that detailed how their economic growth strategies would also reduce poverty (Craig and Porter ; Froger and Andriamahefazafy ). The premise of Madagascar's PRSP was that export growth would both reduce poverty and protect biodiversity.…”

Using the US Agency for International Development's environmental program in Madagascar as a lens, I offer a historically grounded, relational, and multi-sited methodology for understanding the transnational processes that constitute political forests in the contemporary era. I argue that neoliberal reforms conditioned the emergence of a public-private-non-profit alliance, which promoted biodiversity conservation as a US foreign aid priority. As these reforms weakened state capacity and liberalised economies, the downsized Madagascar and US governments became reliant on conservation actors to mobilise political support for their programs. This reinforced the need to maintain strategic relationships with capital-city actors, undermining prior efforts to devolve forest management to local communities. By isolating deforestation as a peasant problem "over there" and by expanding protected areas to meet global biodiversity targets, the conservation alliance created an avenue to be green that did not threaten extractive industries or key constituents. In this manner, saving the environment via protected areas expansion offered politicians a pathway through the inherent contradictions of green neoliberalism.

“…Le paradigme de l'utilisation durable des ressources naturelles est central dans le plan de gestion, mais sa terminologie reflète aussi les injonctions de l'aide alors en vigueur. Les objectifs du millénaire pour le développement adoptés en 2000, le Sommet mondial sur le développement durable de Johannesburg en 2002, puis la doctrine des documents de réduction de la pauvreté demandés par la Banque mondiale poussent à la décentralisation des projets (Froger et Andriamahefazaly, 2003). Collectivités locales, groupements économiques locaux, deviennent des cibles prioritaires des agences de coopération.…”

La trajectoire d'un dispositif de conservation à l'épreuve du territoire

En reconstituant la trajectoire et les effets d'un dispositif de l'Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature (IUCN) au Sénégal conduit au début des années 2000, cet article questionne l'aptitude supposée des ONG vertes internationales à maîtriser la diffusion de normes de conservation d'un niveau de gouvernance à l'autre, jusqu'à des territoires socioécologiques singuliers. Il met en lumière l'aspiration du bureau national de l'UICN au Sénégal à promouvoir une utilisation durable des mangroves dans la réserve de biosphère du delta du Saloum, dont la mise en œuvre est contrariée par les dynamiques sociales et politiques auxquelles le dispositif se cogne. Celui-ci a cependant produit des effets inattendus et pérennes, en figeant notamment un récit du déclin des mangroves devenu inaltérable, et en générant un appel d'air pour d'autres ONG.
