Storytelling in den Vereinten Nationen: Mahbub ul Haq und menschliche Entwicklung

Book cover Politische Narrative

Zusammenfassung

Ausgehend von der Beobachtung, dass Mitarbeiter der Vereinten Nationen eine wichtige Rolle in Prozessen des ideellen Wandels auf internationaler Ebene spielen können, beschäftigt sich dieser Beitrag mit einer bestimmten Form individuellem Einflusses – dem storytelling. Mein Verständnis von storytelling als Einflusstaktik kombiniert dabei kollektive Elemente der soziologischen Praxistheorie mit den reflexiven, akteursbezogenen Überlegungen von Michel de Certeau. Ich analysiere storytelling anhand von drei analytischen Elementen: einem (chronologischen) Plot, einer Reihe von Charakteren und einem interpretativen Thema – die jeweils ihre Wirkung im Zusammenspiel mit der Subjektivität ihres storytellers entfalten. Ich illustriere diese theoretischen Überlegungen mit dem Fall von Mahbub ul Haq, dem es als Sonderberater des United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)-Administrators zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre gelungen ist, die Idee der menschlichen Entwicklung im System der Vereinten Nationen und der internationalen Entwicklungspolitik zu etablieren.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Alle Übersetzungen ursprünglich fremdsprachiger Zitate stammen von der Autorin selbst.

  2. 2.

    Während ich bisher englische Zitate im Satz übersetzte, lasse ich alle von Haq verfassten Passagen im englischen Original: die besondere Sprachfertigkeit Haqs wird immer wieder als wichtiges Kriterium des Erfolgs seiner Erzählung gewertet (Doraid 2012 und Abschn. 4.2).
