Los estudios de políticas públicas son una herramienta analítica provechosa para la gestión pública pues permiten examinar el diseño, proceso y resultados de una intervención pública evaluando el contexto en el que ésta se implementa. No obstante, las evaluaciones sobre los proyectos de la cooperación internacional al desarrollo prácticamente han ignorado los estudios de las políticas públicas. Es así que este trabajo expone una propuesta de modelo de análisis de la gestión de los proyectos de cooperación al desarrollo basada en el campo de las políticas públicas. Dicha propuesta se aplica en el análisis de la gestión pública de un proyecto de cooperación al desarrollo implementado en el estado de Chiapas: el Proyecto Desarrollo Social Integrado y Sostenible (Prodesis).   ABSTRACTPublic policy studies are a useful analytic tool for public management since they make it possible to examine the design, process and results of a public intervention, evaluating the context in which it is being implemented. Nevertheless, the assessment of international development cooperation projects has practically ignored these studies. This work thus presents a model for analyzing the management of development cooperation projects based on the field of public policies. This proposal is used to analyze public management of a cooperation development project implemented in the State of Chiapas: the Integrated and Sustainable Social Development Project called Prodesis.

Abstract The transformation of urban basic service sectors towards more sustainability is one of the ‘grand challenges’ for public policy, globally. A particular urgent problem is the provision of sanitation in cities in low-income countries. The globally dominant centralised sewerage approach has proven incapable to reach many of the urban poor. Recently, an increasing number of actors in international development cooperation has started to develop alternative safely managed non-grid approaches. We approach their efforts as an emerging ‘global innovation system’ and investigate how its development can be supported by systemic intermediaries. We analyse the activities of the ‘Sustainable Sanitation Alliance’, an international network that coordinates activities in the sanitation sector and thereby supports this innovation system. The findings show how demand ing it is to fulfil an intermediary role in a global innovation system, because of the need to consider system processes at different scales, in each phase of system building.

This article revisits the post–World War II evolution of Japan’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) over the past 75 years, with a particular focus on the period starting from the 1980s and subsequent changes in Japan’s international development cooperation policies. I address cornerstones such as human security and quality growth, while examining the role of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), shifts and continuities in regional visions and sectoral priorities, such as infrastructure development. I argue that the threefold mix of key drivers behind Japan’s development cooperation has remained consistent, involving developmentalism stemming from Japan’s own experience of successful modernisation from a non–Western background, neo–mercantilism, as well as strategic and geopolitical considerations. The relative weight and interplay of these factors, however, fluctuated in different periods.
