Résumé
La fondation Rockefeller est bien connue pour son action internationale. Basée à New York, elle est historiquement engagée dans le traitement des problèmes sociaux. En 2007, elle a cofinancé une expérimentation destinée à lutter contre la pauvreté au sein de plusieurs quartiers de la ville. Initiative du maire Michael Bloomberg, ce programme baptisé « Opportunity NYC » propose aux populations les plus démunies des récompenses financières en échange de l’adoption de certains comportements censés améliorer leur condition, comme travailler plus ou emmener leurs enfants chez le médecin. L’article analyse le rôle et la portée de cette forme de patronage philanthropique, source d’exemplarité mais aussi de controverses.
Abstract
The Rockefeller Foundation is well known for its international work. Based in New York, it has a history of commitment to tackling social problems. In 2007, it co-funded an experimental project to fight poverty in a number of inner-city neighbourhoods. An initiative of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the Opportunity NYC program offered disadvantaged citizens financial rewards if they adopted certain behaviours that, it was argued, would improve their situation, such as working more or taking their children to the doctor. The paper examines the role and scope of this form of philanthropic patronage, which is exemplary to some, but a source of controversy to others.
