Description

"Today'schallenge is to make modern international development cooperation a principledapproach that seeks win-wins wherever possible, in tandem with programmes thataddress long-term structural challenges and promote the interests of morevulnerable partners.”, Patrick Develtere, Huib Huyse, and Jan Van Ongevalle,editors of ‘International Development Cooperation Today’

Beyond the traditional North-Southperspective
Over the past 60 years high-incomecountries have invested over 4000 billion euros in development aid. Withvarying degrees of success, these investments in low-income countriescontributed to tackling structural problems such as access to water, health care,and education. Today, however, international development cooperation is nolonger restricted to helping by giving. Instead, it is rather aboutopportunities, mutual interests, risk taking, and an inclusive societalapproach. With the arrival of major new actors such as China, India, and Brazil,and the manifestation of private companies and foundations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,development aid is being eclipsed by new forms of international cooperation, increasinglyaccompanied by investments, trade, and give-and-take exchanges.

Theagendafor sustainable development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in2015 and to be realised by 2030, is a case in point of new influentialframeworks that usher in a global rather than a traditional North-Southperspective.

This book reviews 60 years of international development aid and its relevant actors,outlining today’s challenges and opportunities. Richly illustrated with casestudies and examples, InternationalDevelopment Cooperation Today maps successes and failures and synthesises visionsand discussions from all over the world. By pointing out the radical shift fromthe traditional North-South perspective to a global paradigm, this book isessential reading for all practitioners, academics, and donors involved indevelopment aid.
