CDD projects fail even under ideal social-capital conditions, exposing model flaws.

Evidence

The settlements I studied possessed strong collective governance and robust networks through the MST and Agricultural Workers’ Unions, characteristics that should have represented ideal conditions for CDD success according to the model’s emphasis on social capital and community capacity. Yet, the fact that many projects struggled or failed even in these favorable contexts exposes fundamental flaws in the CDD model itself. — Jessica Carrick-Hagenbarth, Institutional Bricolage and Commoning…, 149
