Abstract:

Sociological studies of organizational fashions have so far been mainly focused on business firms. This article, however, looks at the Capacity Building and Capacity Development concept that is globally applied as a model in governmentally supported development assistance organizations. In the self-descriptions of these organizations, the concept is being praised with the argument that an increase in "capacities" in developing countries will contribute to a higher success rate of projects. This article argues that a primary function of such concepts is to meet the legitimacy requirements of development assistance organizations. The more the effectiveness of these organizations is criticized, the more they feel the need to develop new concepts in order to demonstrate that they will not give up the search for new and more effective concepts.
