Strategic Alliance - CDM

    Bonjour,

    Wonder if respected members of ONE could help me define whether business
    relationships between CDM partners could be termed as strategic alliance.

    I have been working on testing the relationship between alliance network
    and technology transfer under clean development mechanism.

    In CDM projects, there are many entities (project developers, project
    hosts, project consultants etc.) both private, for and not for profit, and
    government entities that are involved. Motives of each of them to enter
    into this relationship could be different.

    Can we define the relationship between those organizations (profit+profit,
    porift+ not for profit organizations)who enter into CDM projects for any
    purpose (e.g. buying carbon credits, advising/consulting to project hosts
    and developers, arranging financing etc.) as "straegic alliance", if their
    relationship lasts beyond some threshold level (e.g. more than 3/5 years)?

    One argument for defining this relationship as strategic alliance, relates
    to benefits of technology transferred from developed country's entity to
    CDM host (Seres, haites, Murphy, 2009). Means can relationship between
    entities of those CDM projects could be termed as straetgic alliance, when
    technology is transferred from developed to developing countries' entities.

    Looking forward to hear from kind members of ONE.
