Abstract This article aims to analyse the meaning of religious and humanitarian approaches in the field of international cooperation, setting out from a study of Norwegian cooperation with indigenous peoples. In so doing it describes and evaluates the differences between missionary and philanthropic trends in the debates on indigenous rights, their contribution to the establishment of contemporary Norwegian national values and state building, and their role as key elements in the control and administration of territories and populations. The article concludes by suggesting a number of research directions connected to the understanding of international cooperation as a space for creating a political agenda connected both to policy proposals and to the building of social movements.

AbstractOne of major changes the world politics has witnessed, during the past three decades, is related to the rising of non-state actors influence in different international domains, such as the international development cooperation system. These actors play now a key role in the global governance, influencing a variety of agendas. Some international organizations promote a significant relationship with non-state actors, such as the Commission's Directorate-General for International Cooperation and Development (DG DEVCO), from European Union (EU). Other institutions need improvements in this aspect, like the Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC – Agência Brasileira de Cooperação), from Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Brazil. In this context, the proposed article aims to analyze and compare the different sorts of non-state actors interactions within the international development cooperation system, mainly through DG DEVCO (EU) and ABC (Brazil). Were non-state actors able to change the architecture of international development cooperation agenda within these two referred institutions? What kinds of changes they have promoted so far? These are some of the questions the proposed article aims to answer.Key Words: International Cooperation, Non-State Actors, European Union, Brazil-----A ascensão de atores não-estatais no sistema de Cooperação Internacional para o Desenvolvimento: uma análise comparativa entre suas interações com a DG-DEVCO, da União Europeia, e a ABC, do Ministério das Relações Exteriores do BrasilResumoUm dos maiores desafios que a política mundial tem presenciado, durante as últimas três décadas, está relacionado à ascensão da influência de atores não-estatais em diferentes domínios do sistema internacional, como no sistema da cooperação internacional para o desenvolvimento. Esses atores têm agora um papel fulcral na governança global, influenciando uma variedade de agendas. Alguns organismos internacionais promovem significante relação com atores não-estatais, como a Direção Geral para a Cooperação Internacional e o Desenvolvimento (DG DEVCO), da União Europeia (UE). Outras instituições precisam de aprimoramentos, como a Agência Brasileira de Cooperação (ABC) do Ministério das Relações Exteriores do Brasil. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo se propõe analisar e comparar diferentes interações com atores não-estatais no sistema de cooperação internacional para o desenvolvimento, notadamente por meio da DG DEVCO (UE) e ABC (Brasil). São os atores não-estatais capazes de mudar a arquitetura da cooperação internacional para o desenvolvimento no âmbito das duas instituições referidas? Que tipo de mudanças foram capazes de promover até o momento? Essas são algumas das questões que o presente artigo pretende responder. Palavras-Chave: Cooperação Internacional, Atores Não-Estatais, União Europeia, Brasil AbstractOne of major changes the world politics has witnessed, during the past three decades, is related to the rising of non-state actors influence in different international domains, such as the international development cooperation system.

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.
