DAVIS, Kevin y KINGSBURY, Benedict. INDICATORS AS INTERVENTION: OBSTACLES AND EXPECTATIONS RESULTING FROM SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES. Int. Law: Rev. Colomb. Derecho Int. [online]. 2014, n.25, pp.473-542. ISSN 1692-8156. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.il14-25.icio.
Indicators are ubiquitous in development policy. Corruption, human trafficking, obstacles to doing business, child mortality and morbidity. There are indicatorsfor all of these social problems. These indicators are not only methods of selecting, evaluating or publicizing development interventions -they are interventions in their own right! Indicators have potential to be constructive interven tions in addressing wickedproblems of developmen t. Drawing on three case studies and a review of the literature, this report provides a framework for understanding the effects of producing indicators in global governance and transnational contexts relevant to development, drawing attention to some pitfalls and perverse effects that can easily result from producing and using indicators without realizing that they are themselves interventions, or without sufficiently far-reaching thought and consultations.
