The paper is presenting some considerations on how knowledge is collaboratively created and documented in social networks within International Development Cooperation (IDC) settings, and on the importance of collaborative knowledge production and exploitation within these networks. We argue that knowledge exchange and creation is one of the main added values of networking activities of IDC in the network society, and we advocate for networking to be considered a fundamental component of IDC interventions. A specific case study is presented, showing the impact of collaborative knowledge building on a Europe-Latin America cooperation programme of the European Commission.

AbstractThis chapter analyses the foreign aid discourses of South Korea and Turkey in international development cooperation under the framework of middle-power theory. Korea and Turkey make use of their middle-power identity with the aim of increasing their presence around the globe, where foreign aid is used as an important foreign policy tool. They claim to be like-minded peers playing a bridging role between the developed and developing worlds. Despite opting for similar results in global politics, they show divergent strategic and ideational pathways in foreign aid. This creates significant implications for cooperation at the global level, especially because it questions the role of middle-power collaboration in facilitating possible rapprochement between traditional and emerging donors as well as within the Southern providers.
