In Search of a Plan B
The international landscape in mid‐2025 is characterized by a retreat from liberal institutionalism, exemplified by the United States' withdrawal from the Sustainable Development Goals and its adoption of transactional, power‐based international relations, as well as its potential withdrawal from some multilateral bodies. In this context, this paper argues that traditional models of universal multilateralism are increasingly untenable, and that n…
Promoting ownership in a “post‐aid effectiveness” world
Development policy from a systemic perspective
Over the past decade a number of changes can be observed within the development policy system. This paper presents and discusses these changes along three dimensions: narratives, strategies and operational approaches. Changes are manifold, ranging from the application of new narratives, such as the migration narrative, to alternations in strategic objectives (e.g. developing countries’ graduation issues), new instruments (in the form of developme…
Palgrave Handbook of Development Cooperation for Achieving the 2030 Agenda
This book analyses the role of development cooperation in achieving the 2030 Agenda in a global context of ‘contested cooperation’. Development actors, developing countries, and non-governmental actors constantly challenge underlying narratives and norms of development
Where tradition meets public sector innovation
Results-Based Approaches (RBApps), conceptually framed within these two debates, are designed to support outcome- and impact-oriented development goals. They link the achievement of results to monetary and/or non-monetary reward mechanisms. However, so far, development cooperation partners have mainly applied RBApps in the form of Results-Based Finance and Results-Based Aid. Through the provision of a conceptual framework, this paper embeds RBApp…
Transnational public goods provision
The paper delineates three debates, which will be conflated. One line of discussion relates to public goods at a transnational level. Here, the referencing of debates regarding the characteristics of ‘a common good’ will be of significance. A second strand addresses the group of countries known as the ‘rising powers’ and the role these countries could play towards a globalised common good. A third discussion thread analyses South Africa as a case…
Public Sector Performance and Development Cooperation in Rwanda
Costs, Benefits and the Political Economy of Aid Coordination
Although it is not possible to identify a specific, theoretical optimum level of aid coordination for the European Union, there is a broad consensus on the need for reduced transaction costs and greater impact through a stronger adherence to coordination standards. However, neither member states nor European institutions consequently follow a policy in line with a clear coordination principle. And nor do partner countries always push for more don…
Beyond Aid
Development cooperation is part of an international system characterised by fragmentation and limitations in global problem solving. Drawing on the term beyond aid , this article explores the transformation of development cooperation within this system. The article distinguishes four dimensions of beyond aid – actors, finance, regulation and knowledge – where aid loses relevance relative to other fields of international cooperation. Creating link…
Interfaces between Development and Security
Regional Security in Africa and the Role of External Support
Poor Performers in Sub-Saharan Africa
World political events since 9/11 have refocused attention in the development, foreign and security policy spheres on ‘poor performing’ countries, owing to the possible threat that some countries pose to the international community. These countries, referred to by the World Bank as low-income countries under stress (LICUS), are both countries that lack a certain minimum of effective governmental authority and countries that have sufficient effect…
The Impact of Development Co-operation in Conflict Situations
Within a debate about the contribution that development co-operation (DC) can make to stable and peaceful development in conflict situations, development agencies are trying to gain a better understanding of their options. This article deals with the experience and findings of German DC in six countries. The direct influence of DC on conflict situations is limited. Conflict recognition and the flow of information are important and this has been s…
