本論文は、サハラ以南アフリカにおけるグリーン移行投資（GTI）が、地域コミュニティの価値観を軽視し、金銭的補償に偏ることで抵抗を招くジレンマを指摘。経済人類学の視点から、社会的関係やアイデンティティを価値として捉え直し、ケニアと南アフリカの事例に基づいて、地域の利害や社会構造がGTIの可能性と限界を左右することを示す。
English
This paper examines the dilemma of green transition investments (GTIs) in sub-Saharan Africa, where monetary compensation often clashes with local communities' own notions of value, leading to resistance. Using economic anthropology, it argues that GTIs mirror extractivism by prioritizing accumulation over social relations. Through case studies in Kenya and South Africa, it shows how diverse local interests and socio-political structures shape the potential and limitations of such projects.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
本論文は、日本がアフリカで進めるグリーンエネルギー投資において、地域コミュニティとの合意形成や価値の共有が重要であることを示唆する。日本のGX政策では、国際的な公正な移行（just transition）の視点が求められており、その示唆を得られる。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global GX context by highlighting the social and political challenges of green transition investments, particularly in the Global South. It underscores the need for just transition frameworks that go beyond monetary compensation to include local values and social relations, relevant for international climate finance and corporate sustainability strategies.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Investments in critical raw mineral mining and green transition investments (GTIs) are expected to grow substantially worldwide, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. This creates a dilemma: while GTIs are essential to address global climate change, they often break down in the face of community resistance stemming from local people’s superficial inclusion. We argue that GTIs mirror traditional extractivism because they prioritise monetary compensation and accumulation over local communities’ own notions of value. Theoretically, we adopt an economic anthropology perspective on value that includes, as valuable, social identities and relational exchanges that underpin livelihoods. Viewing value through social relations challenges the presently dominant assumption that monetary compensation is a generic or universal measure of worth. We show that the buying out logic of extractivist investments reflects market driven resettlement and compensation schemes. Our analysis of GTIs in Kenya and South Africa demonstrates how diverse local interests and extant socio-political structures expose both the potential and limitations of what such projects can realistically achieve.
