Actualmente, el renacimiento del Análisis de Política Exterior en países latinoamericanos está creando un subcampo abierto a influencias disciplinares y vinculado a nuevos temas de la agenda internacional. Sin embargo, el estudio de la influencia de las fuentes internas en la agenda de cooperación al desarrollo permanece inexplorado. Este artículo aspira a completar parcialmente ese vacío al abordar la cooperación Sur-Sur para el desarrollo de Brasil y la Argentina en el post-Consenso de Washington. El principal foco es analizar esta política pública sujeta al influjo del ambiente interno, las percepciones de los actores, las orientaciones sobre el desarrollo y el entramado institucional. Palabras clave: Cooperación Sur-Sur, Análisis de Política Exterior, Cooperación Internacional al Desarrollo.Abstract: The study of the influence of domestic sources in the agenda setting of international development cooperation has not been consolidated as an interest of research yet within the field of International Relations. This article attempts to close partially this loophole by addressing the domestic sources of South-South Development Cooperation (SSDC) policy of Argentina. The main focus is to analyze this public policy with its particular characteristics, restrained by the changing challenges and opportunities of the international environment, and also by the domestic system since 2001, where actors articulate ideas, beliefs and perceptions about the foreign policy and the development within an institutional framework that posed alternatives and limitations.Key Words: South-South Cooperation, Foreign Policy Analysis, International Development Cooperation.  DOI: 10.20424/2237-7743/bjir.v4n2p198-235

International Development Cooperation

In a context of growing interdependence, diversified possibilities for emerging powers to act and more commonly perceived transcendence of domestic subjects to the international arena, Brazil is a singular player: it is facing relevant internal transformations that allow the development of policies for mitigating historic inequalities, such as the ones to fight hunger and poverty; and aims at assuming greater responsibilities in an international arena characterized by growing multipolarity. Brazil’s diplomatic corps tries to show the country as a necessary interlocutor and negotiator for the establishment of a more just and democratic world order. In this sense, many public policies associated with the agendas comprised by the concept of food security are instrumentalized by the policymakers as a means to assemble legitimacy, political support and economic opportunities for the South American powerhouse. These dynamics are clearly observed in the relations between Brazil and its African partners, which will be the focus of this paper.Keywords: Brazilian foreign policy; International development cooperation; Brazil-Africa relations; Lula da Silva’s government; food security.   Resumo: Em contexto de crescente interdependência, diversificadas possibilidades da atuação para potências emergentes e transcendência mais perceptível de questões domésticas para a arena internacional, o Brasil é ator singular: passa por transformações internas relevantes que permitem o desenvolvimento de políticas como as de combate à fome e à pobreza, voltadas para a mitigação de desigualdades históricas; e busca assumir maiores responsabilidades em arena internacional caracterizada por crescente multipolaridade. O corpo diplomático brasileiro busca mostrar o país como um interlocutor e negociador necessário para o estabelecimento de ordem global mais justa e democrática. Nesse sentido, variadas políticas públicas associadas com as agendas envolvidas pelo conceito de segurança alimentar são instrumentalizadas pelos formuladores de política externa como um meio de assegurar legitimidade, apoios políticos e oportunidades econômicas para o país sul-americano. Tais dinâmicas são claramente observadas nas relações entre o Brasil e seus parceiros africanos, assunto que será o tema desse artigo.Palavras-chave: Política externa brasileira; Cooperação internacional para o desenvolvimento; Relações Brasil-África; Governo Lula da Silva; Segurança alimentar.  DOI: 10.20424/2237-7743/bjir.v4n3p558-581

International Development Cooperation

Over the past 60 years high-income countries have invested over 4000 billion euros in development aid. With varying degrees of success, these investments in low-income countries contributed to tackling structural problems such as access to water, health care, and education. Today, however, international development cooperation is no longer restricted to helping by giving. Instead, it is rather about opportunities, mutual interests, risk taking, and an inclusive societal approach. With the arrival of major new actors such as China, India, and Brazil, and the manifestation of private companies and foundations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, development aid is being eclipsed by new forms of international cooperation, increasingly accompanied by investments, trade, and give-and-take exchanges. The agenda for sustainable development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 and to be realised by 2030, is a case in point of new influential frameworks that usher in a global rather than a traditional North-South perspective. This book reviews 60 years of international development aid and its relevant actors, outlining today’s challenges and opportunities. Richly illustrated with case studies and examples, International Development Cooperation Today maps successes and failures and synthesizes visions and discussions from all over the world. By pointing out the radical shift from the traditional North-South perspective to a global paradigm, this book is essential reading for all practitioners, academics, and donors involved in development aid.

International Development Cooperation

Indonesia as a developing country that embraces foreign policy that is free and active, participates in the development of other developing countries in South-South Cooperation. This participation is also stated in the mandate for the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution to enhance Indonesia's role in international development cooperation. Indonesia's contribution is an interesting thing to discuss because Indonesia as one of the developing countries contributes quite significantly to other countries. In this journal, it uses qualitative research methods which are sourced from existing literature and data. The results of this discussion can be seen that the assistance that Indonesia provides is more in the form of services and in the form of seminar programs. This discussion focuses on the assistance that Indonesia provided during the period of President Joko Widodo, especially in 2016-2018. The focus of the assistance that Indonesia provides is Asian countries, especially the South Pacific region. This is because there is an interest that Indonesia carries in carrying out SSC assistance for the region. Indonesia sebagai salah satu negara berkembang yang menganut politik luar negeri yang bersifat bebas dan aktif, turut serta dalam pembangunan negara berkembang lainnya dalam South-South Cooperation. Partisipasi ini juga seperti yang tertuang dalam amanat Pembukaan UUD 1945 untuk meningkatkan peran Indonesia dalam kerja sama pembangunan internasional. Kontribusi Indonesia menjadi hal yang menarik untuk dibahas karena Indonesia sebagai salah satu negara berkembang memberikan kontribusi yang cukup berpengaruh bagi negara lainnya. Jurnal ini dalam pembuatannya menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif yang bersumber kepada literature maupun data-data yang sudah ada. Hasil dari pembahasan ini dapat dilihat bahwasannya bantuan yang Indonesia berikan lebih bersifat berupa jasa dan berbentuk program-program seminar. Pembahasan ini berfokus pada bantuan yang Indonesia berikan pada masa Periode Presiden Joko Widodo, khususnya pada tahun 2016-2018. Fokus dari bantuan yang Indonesia berikan adalah negara Asia khususnya kawasan Pasifik Selatan. Hal ini karena terdapat kepentingan yang Indonesia bawa dalam melakukan bantuan SSC bagi kawasan tersebut.

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.

International Development Cooperation

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.
