Southern Powers and Global Development, livre ebook

• One of few books to offer a comprehensive investigation of accountability and responsibility within the field of South-South Cooperation (SSC) studies;

• Traces diplomatic and policymaking processes in Brazil, China and India.

Responsibility and accountability are key concepts in global development, and no less so in the case of South-South cooperation (SSC). This book illustrates how donorship responsibility and accountability are being debated, negotiated and operationalised in the context of Southern rising powers’ development cooperation.

The book examines how Southern powers justify and improve the performance of their global development efforts to multiple audiences at home and abroad. Through a multi-site and multi-scalar tracing of diplomatic and domestic foreign policymaking processes in Brazil, China and India, the book depicts Southern powers’ integration in the donorship regime where they simultaneously engage and contest existing donor accountability norms.
