\nAid Chains in Cambodia.<\/p>\n
\nSociology, University of Virginia.<\/p>\n
\nMany INGOs in Cambodia use the broad category of ‘gender and
\ndevelopment’ or \u2018women\u2019s development\u2019 to describe their work, but the
\nprogramming carried out under this umbrella term varies: INGOs from
\nJapan promote projects addressing health, education, and vocational
\nskills for mothers, while U.S.-based INGOs focus on reproductive health,
\neconomic empowerment, women’s rights, and political participation.
\nAlthough emergent research has begun to theorize national-level
\nvariation among INGOs, relatively little is known about how this
\nvariation affects the way that INGOs organize their operations in
\ndeveloping countries, and with what consequences for local stakeholders.
\nThrough a comparative study of INGOs from Japan and the U.S., my
\ndissertation research explores how the practices, beliefs and priorities
\nof INGOs are transmitted along ‘aid chains,’ or the links through which
\nprograms travel from INGO headquarters, to INGO country offices, and
\nfinally to implementing partners (Watkins, Swidler, & Hannan 2012).
\nSpecifically, I ask: (1) to what degree, and how, do aid chains
\norganized by INGOs from different countries vary?; (2) How do
\nimplementing partners, such as Cambodian NGOs or employees in government
\nministries connected to these aid chains, understand and negotiate the
\npriorities of U.S. and Japanese INGOs in the political and cultural
\ncontext of Cambodia?; and, (3) To what extent does engagement with INGOs
\nshape the self-understandings of these local practitioners, including
\ntheir professional identities and gendered subjectivities? To address
\nthese questions, I combine ethnographic observation and in-depth
\ninterviewing in INGO headquarters, INGO country offices, and
\nimplementing organizations.<\/p>\n
\nMary-Collier Wilks is a doctoral candidate at the University of
\nVirginia. In the end of June 2019, she will complete a year of
\nqualitative fieldwork in Cambodia. Her research interests are in
\ninternational development, global civil society, gender, political
\nsociology, and Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
