How are Research for Development Programmes Implementing and Evaluating Equitable Partnerships to Address Power Asymmetries?
The complexity of issues addressed by research for development (R4D) requires collaborations between partners from a range of disciplines and cultural contexts. Power asymmetries within such partnerships may obstruct the fair distribution of resources, responsibilities and benefits across all partners. This paper presents a cross-case analysis of five R4D partnership evaluations, their methods and how they unearthed and addressed power asymmetries. It contributes to the field of R4D partnership evaluations by detailing approaches and methods employed to evaluate these partnerships. Theory-based evaluations deepened understandings of how equitable partnerships contribute to R4D generating impact and centring the relational side of R4D. Participatory approaches that involved all partners in developing and evaluating partnership principles ensured contextually appropriate definitions and a focus on what partners value

El consumo alimentario en la ciudad mercantilizada. Dos casos en São Paulo (Brasil)
Cet article propose d’analyser la relation entre l’urbanisation et la commercialisation alimentaire dans Sao Paulo (Brésil) à partir de deux études de cas: le marché municipal de Pinheiros et le marché on gros. Tous deux sont situés dans des zones stratégiques de la ville et sont des zones d’intérêts pour le marché immobilier et le secteur privé, qui ont réussi à intervenir dans ces espaces par le biais d’instruments urbains. Le cadre théorique englobe la mondialisation, la production sociale de l'espace, la marchandisation de la ville et la consommation alimentaire. Dans ce contexte, on étudie quels sont les principaux impacts de la production sociale de l'espace de Sao Paulo sur l'approvisionnement alimentaire urbain. L'article soulève que les impacts se manifestent dans de nouveaux modèles de marketing alimentaire, dans la culture de la consommation alimentaire, dans l'inégalité d'accès à la nourriture et à la ville, et dans un déséquilibre entre la campagne et la ville. Grâce à une méthodologie essentiellement qualitative, il a été possible de confirmer l'hypothèse et de conclure que l'urbanisation affecte la commercialisation des biens alimentaires en traitant la ville et la nourriture comme des marchandises.Este artigo analisa a relação entre a urbanização e a comercialização de alimentos em São Paulo (Brasil) através de dois estudos de casos em São Paulo (Brasil): o Mercado Municipal de Pinheiros e o entreposto de alimentos. Ambos estão localizados em áreas estratégicas da cidade e, por tanto, são áreas de interesse para o mercado imobiliário e o sector privado, que conseguiram intervir nesses espaços através de a través de instrumentos urbanísticos. O marco teórico abarca a globalização, a produção social do espaço, a mercantilização da cidade e o consumo alimentar. A partir deste contexto, se indaga quais são os principais impactos da produção social do espaço de São Paulo no abastecimento alimentar urbano. Este artigo defende a hipótese de que tais impactos se manifestam em novos modelos de comercialização de alimentos, na cultura de consumo alimentar, na inequidade de acesso à alimentação e à cidade, e no desequilíbrio entre campo e cidade. Através da metodologia prioritariamente qualitativa, a hipótese foi confirmada e conclui-se que a urbanização afeta a comercialização de alimentos ao tratar a cidades e os alimentos como mercadorias.Este artículo propone el análisis de la relación entre la urbanización y la comercialización de alimentos en Sao Paulo (Brasil) utilizando dos casos de estudio: el Mercado Municipal de Pinheiros y el mayorista.

Both are located in strategic areas of the city and, therefore, are areas of interest to the real estate market and the private sector, which managed to intervene these spaces through urban instruments. The theoretical framework integrates globalization, the social production of space, the commodification of the city and food consumption. In this context, the research looks for the main impacts of the social production of the space of Sao Paulo on urban food supply. This article proposes that those impacts are manifested in new food marketing models, in the food consumption culture, in the inequality of access to food and to the city, and in an imbalance between country and city. Through a primarily qualitative methodology, it was possible to confirm the hypothesis and conclude that urbanization affects the commercialization of food by treating the city and food as merchandise.
