RESEARCH INTERESTS / RESEARCH PROFILE
Dr. Jon Harald Sande Lie’s research interests focus on anthropological perspectives to development, and various forms of governance and resistance strategies emerging as the institutional development apparatus unfolds in various contexts, including the role of external actors for post-colonial, African state formation. He has conducted long-term fieldworks in Ethiopia, Uganda and the World Bank, focusing on the partnership relation between Norwegian and Ethiopian NGOs and the World Bank–Uganda relations. He has also conducted shorter research assignments in the same countries in addition to Sudan, South Sudan and Chad, which has also led him to study humanitarian aid. His research combines post-structural/post-development and actor-oriented perspectives, allowing to study the local renderings and processes associated with global aid discourses. In providing an ethnography of aid, his is empirically and theoretically oriented towards studying the social processes taking place in the interface between the global and the local, discourse and agency, formal and informal.
