Negotiating Corporatized Development
Keyword(s):
Chapter 6 examines the power relations underlying NGOs’ uneven negotiations of the Girl Effect. For insight into the nature of these dynamics, this chapter considers the conditions that enabled one NGO to theorize and act beyond the terms of the Nike Foundation’s power/knowledge/capital regime while another NGO was constrained by them. It focuses on the material and nonmaterial resources the NGOs mobilized, including expertise and authority, education and training, and administrative and financial independence, as well as time and space, and it examines the boundaries of possibility that resulted from a curricular, pedagogical, and relational perspective.
