Abstract
Bangladesh is widely regarded as a country that is heavily affected by the threats of climate change. In this study, we analyze the management of projects aiming to adapt to climate change in the period from 2009 to 2015. We are interested in two aspects: first, the overall bureaucratic setup of the adaptation regime, and second, the appointment of directors to the individual programs and what role foreign funding plays in making appointment decisions. With regard to the latter, it should be noted that project directors are an important arm of state bureaucracy in Bangladesh who guide the whole implementation and management of a development project, including its financial, regulatory, and informational dimensions. More specifically, we ask whether generalists or professionals are appointed as directors of the relevant projects. We argue and then show that the chances of appointing a professional as the director increase with the volume of foreign funding. 孟加拉国被广泛视 一个受气候 化威 重影响的国家, 因此, 其国内政策制定者、多 援助机构和双 援助机构已启 一系列 划, 这些 划致力( 国)适 目前和将来在人口和基建 施上的挑战。本文中, 笔者分析了 2009‐2015 年期 孟加拉国在致力适应环境 化所制定的 划的管理。笔者关注了两方面:第一, 适 划的总体官僚设置;第二, 各 人管理不同 目的任命, 以及国外 金在制定任命决策中扮演的角色。针对第二点, 得注意的是: 目 人具备孟加拉国国家官僚的重要 能, 他 引 展 划的全部实施和管理, 包括 划的 政、监管和信息 度。更具体而言, 笔者想知道是否多面手或专家被任命 相关计划的 人。笔者先提出主张, 然后表明:当国外 金量增多 , 任命 家 人的机率会提升。这一发现总体促进了公共行政文献的研究, 尤其促进了有关低收入国家气候 化适 的文献研究。 Bangladesh es visto como un paıs que esta fuertemente afectado por amenazas del cambio climatico, y por ende los creadores de polıticas domesticas y las agencias de ayuda bilaterales y multilaterales han empezado muchos proyectos que buscan la adaptacion a desafıos presentes y futuros para la poblacion y la infraestructura. En este estudio analizamos la gestion de proyectos que buscan la adaptacion al cambio climatico en el periodo de 2009 a 2015. Estamos interesados en dos aspectos: primero, el arreglo burocratico general de adaptacion al regimen, y segundo, el nombramiento de directores para los programas individuales y el papel que juega el financiamiento desde el extranjero para las decisiones de nombramientos. En lo que concierne a esto ultimo, deberıa mencionarse que los directores del proyecto son una seccion importante de la burocracia de estado en Bangladesh que guıan la totalidad de la implementacion y la gestion de un proyecto de desarrollo, incluyendo sus dimensiones financieras, regulatorias e informacionales. Mas especıficamente, preguntamos si generalistas o profesionales son nombrados directores de proyectos relevantes. Argumentamos y despues demostramos que las oportunidades para nombrar a profesionales como directores incrementan con el volumen del financiamiento extranjero. Este hallazgo contribuye a la literatura existente de la administracion publica en general, y a la literatura acerca de la adaptacion al cambio climatico en paıses de bajos recursos en particular.
