The Emerging Countries of the Global South vis-à-vis Global Governance of Development Aid: Strategies for Reform, Rivalries, and Attempts

Abstract

This paper analyzes the composition of global governance of development aid and the place currently being occupied by the so called “emerging” donors from the Global South, such as China, India, and Brazil. The paper compares the actions and strategies of these emerging donors in the Development Assistance Committee (dac) of the oecd and in the system of the United Nations. The emerging powers of the Global South are participants in the fragmentation of the global governance of aid, and in establishing a governance of multiple pathways. Their strategies for reform become a means for establishing and legitimizing the South-South agenda for development assistance.
