Book excerpt: Subnational conflict is the most widespread, enduring, and deadly form of conflict in Asia. Over the past 20 years (1992-2012), there have been 26 subnational conflicts in South and Southeast Asia, affecting half of the countries in this region. Concerned about foreign interference, national governments limit external access to conflict areas by journalists, diplomats, and personnel from international development agencies and non-governmental organizations. As a result, many subnational conflict areas are poorly understood by outsiders and easily overshadowed by larger geopolitical issues, bilateral relations, and national development challenges. The interactions between conflict, politics, and aid in subnational conflict areas are a critical blind spot for aid programs. This study was conducted to help improve how development agencies address subnational conflicts.

Book excerpt: 개발원조와 빈곤퇴치라는 국제적 이슈에 대한 이해를 돕고자 하는 『Introduction to International Development Cooperation』은 세 측면에서 논의를 진행하고 있다. 첫째, 빈곤문제와 대외원조문제가 어떻게 해서 세계적인 주요 의제로 떠올랐는지를 규명하고자 한다. 이를 위해 역사적인 맥락을 먼저 살피는데 제2차 세계대전부터 시작된 대외원조의 변화 추이를 원조국과 수혜국의 입장에서 분석한다. 둘째는, 지난 50여 년간 국제사회가 이룩한 구호활동과 빈곤퇴치 등의 업적을 객관적으로 평가하고 앞으로 해결해야 할 과제들을 고찰한다. 끝으로, 그간 국제사회의 이러한 활동에는 여러 복잡한 문제와 관행, 그리고 여러 계층의 사람들이 관여하게 되어 도정되는 문제들도 있었다. 이러한 문제해결을 위한 글로벌거버넌스 프레임 워크 구축은 매우 중요하며, 대외원조 효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 여러 관계자 간의 협력 네트워크 구축이 필요함을 강조한다.

Book Development Cooperation in Times of Crisis

Download or read book Development Cooperation in Times of Crisis written by José Antonio Alonso and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-17 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading governments undertook extraordinary measures to offset the 2008 economic crisis, shoring up financial institutions, stimulating demand to reverse recession, and rebalancing budgets to alleviate sovereign debt. While productive in and of themselves, these solutions were effective because they were coordinated internationally and were matched with sweeping global financial reforms. Unfortunately, coordination has weakened after these initial steps, indicating one of the crisis's adverse effects will be a significant reduction in development cooperation. Urging advanced nations to improve their support for development, the contributors to this volume revisit the causes of the 2008 collapse and the ongoing effects of recession on global and developing economies. They reevaluate the international response to crisis and suggest more effective approaches to development cooperation. Experts on international aid join together to redesign the cooperation system and its governance, so it can accept new actors and better achieve the Millennial Development Goals of 2015 within the context of severe global crisis. In their introduction, José Antonio Alonso and José Antonio Ocampo summarize different chapters and the implications of their analyses, concluding with a frank assessment of global economic imbalance and the ability of increased cooperation to rectify these inequalities.

Book International Development Cooperation Today

Download or read book International Development Cooperation Today written by Patrick Develtere and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 733 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access handbook analyses the role of development cooperation in achieving the 2030 Agenda in a global context of 'contested cooperation'.

Book Japanese Development Cooperation

Download or read book Japanese Development Cooperation written by André Asplund and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world order as we know it is currently undergoing profound changes, and in its wake, so is foreign aid. Donors of foreign aid, development assistance or development cooperation around the world are already facing new challenges in the changing development architecture. This is an architecture that globally seems to become increasingly forgiving of foreign aid as a win-win concept that also meets the donors’ own national interests—something that has been an unofficial Japanese trademark for many years. This book examines Japan’s development assistance as it transitions away from Official Development Assistance and towards Development Cooperation. In this transition, the strong and reciprocal relationships between Japanese development policy and comprehensive security, diplomacy, foreign, domestic and economic policies are likely to become even more consolidated and integrated. The utilization of, and changes within, Japanese development policy therefore affects not only recipients of foreign aid but also the relationships Japan enjoys with its allies and strategic partners, as well as the relations to competing donors and rivals in the region and around the world. Japanese foreign aid as such provides an extremely interesting case from where regional and even global changes can be understood. Written by a multidisciplinary team of contributors from the fields of political science, international relations, development, economics, public opinion and Japan studies, the book sets out to be innovative in capturing the essence of the changing patterns of development cooperation, and more importantly, Japan’s role in within it, in an era of great change. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese Politics, Foreign Policy and International Relations.
