In @globalpolicy.bsky.social, @andypsumner.bsky.social & @stephanklingebiel.bsky.social argue that the old assumptions about who sets development policy norms, who pays, and who decides what counts as “cooperation” no longer seem to hold. 📄 www.globalpolicyjournal.com/blog/17/12/2...

"Contemporary scholarship demonstrates that development is multidimensional, path-dependent, and often non-linear; that the experience of industrialized countries is neither universally transferable nor normatively desirable" ✍️ Our latest blog www.developmentresearch.eu?p=2409

"This is not technical language. It sounds like a political signal that the G7 intends to reshape how development cooperation is organised, coordinated and justified." www.developmentresearch.eu?p=2398

"Governments, parliaments, and non-state actors — who support what until recently was a broad global consensus on sustainable development need to find ways to counter the destructive influence of the Trump administration on established forums such as the G7 and G20" www.developmentresearch.eu?p=2398

In our latest blog, @andypsumner.bsky.social (@kings-sga.bsky.social) and @stephanklingebiel.bsky.social (@idos-research.bsky.social) take the recent G7 Development Ministers’ Chair’s Summary as basis for their analysis

For decades, #multilateralism & global solidarity shaped expectations of how global #DevelopmentPolicy should be organised. In a new IDOS publication, the authors argue that those assumptions can no longer be taken for granted: www.globalpolicyjournal.com/blog/26/09/2... @globalpolicy.bsky.social

"The disruption does not amount to the wholesale collapse of global development cooperation. Instead, what emerges is a fragmented landscape in which multiple normative regimes coexist and compete", write @stephanklingebiel.bsky.social & @andypsumner.bsky.social www.developmentresearch.eu?p=2365

In a new IDOS #DiscussionPaper, @andypsumner.bsky.social & @stephanklingebiel.bsky.social argue that recent US actions represent more than a domestic political shift.
