“Today's
challenge is to make modern international development cooperation a principled
approach that seeks win-wins wherever possible, in tandem with programmes that
address long-term structural challenges and promote the interests of more
vulnerable partners.”, Patrick Develtere, Huib Huyse, and Jan Van Ongevalle,
editors of ‘International Development Cooperation Today’
Beyond the traditional North-South
perspective
Over the past 60 years high-income
countries have invested over 4000 billion euros in development aid. With
varying degrees of success, these investments in low-income countries
contributed to tackling structural problems such as access to water, health care,
and education. Today, however, international development cooperation is no
longer restricted to helping by giving. Instead, it is rather about
opportunities, mutual interests, risk taking, and an inclusive societal
approach. 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, increasingly
accompanied by investments, trade, and give-and-take exchanges.
The agenda
for sustainable development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in
2015 and to be realised by 2030, is a case in point of new influential
frameworks that usher in a global rather than a traditional North-South
perspective.
This book reviews 60 years of international development aid and its relevant actors,
outlining today’s challenges and opportunities. Richly illustrated with case
studies and examples, International
Development Cooperation Today maps successes and failures and synthesises visions
and discussions from all over the world. By pointing out the radical shift from
the traditional North-South perspective to a global paradigm, this book is
essential reading for all practitioners, academics, and donors involved in
development aid.
