Abstract: Values and multi-organization partnerships are two crucial aspects of the contested field of development management. Their management crucially involves questions of authority, accountability, agency and validity. This Policy Arena includes two pairs of papers, one addressing the management of values and partnerships respectively in the context of NGOs and the second pair doing the same with respect to development management more broadly. They show that partnerships and values have in common that they cannot be managed by the imposition of a rationally defined programme of action but require indirect approaches such as steering, negotiation and looking for common ground.
