We earlier identified the need for a greater understanding of development project implementation practice, in
particular the link between project practice and performance trajectories of success or failure, and insights into
the practice of politics and power. Given that ANT has been an influence on some of the anthropological
approaches that have helped expose certain aspects of project practice, in this paper, we investigated what direct
and sole use of ANT might offer, specifically looking at one of the less well-known organising devices of ANT,
Law and Callon’s (1992) local/global networks approach.
