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
South Africa's Emerging Soft Power
“South Africa's moral authority and willingness to play an active role in the world gave it unique leverage with both the global North and the South.” Eighth and final article in a series on soft power around the world
Leveraging South-South cooperation for Africa's development
Optimising the development opportunities presented by emerging powers' growing interest in trade, investment and diplomatic engagement in Africa seems a priority for the continent in the context of a changing global system in which power is more diffuse. Taking into account a reconceptualisation of aid effectiveness as development effectiveness, this paper focuses on the manner in which African states understand and approach new opportunities for…

South African foreign policy in the post-Mbeki period
President Thabo Mbeki's resignation in September 2008 six months before the expected end of his term was triggered by the recall issued by the ANC National Executive Committee. It is highly unlikely that any major changes in foreign policy will be made by the caretaker government of President Kgalema Motlanthe before the 2009 elections. However, the significant changes in the domestic political environment signal the start of a new era in South A…

Democratisation and Militasation in Rwanda
The political and military thinking of the Rwandan government is still informed by the 1994 genocide. Despite the strong trend toward democratisation and openness in many civil matters, the military establishment continues to be regarded as critical for the survival and protection of the state and is not subject to the same levels of accountability, though this is perhaps not surprising given the threats emanating in particular from the DRC. Whil…

Minority protection in the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia
Macedonia, the only former Yugoslav republic to avoid violent conflict following the break‐up of Yugoslavia, is a patchwork of ethnic groups. Its largest ethnic minority, the Albanians, constitute 23%. Although relations between the Slav‐Macedonian and Albanian communities have been tense in recent years, Albanian parties have participated in government. At the same time, they have called for recognition as a constituent nation within the republi…
