Emerging and Traditional Donors in the ‘Post-Busan’ Context: Assessing Brazil’s and Finland’s Cooperation Practices in Mozambique
2015
At the same time as the ‘emerging donors’ have gained relevance in the development cooperation system, they have also challenged established principles of aid. This article compares Brazil's and Finland's development cooperation practices in the light of recent global tendencies in the aid architecture. Based on empirical research carried out in Mozambique, Brazil, and Finland, the article gives a detailed review of the institutional and historical settings of each bilateral cooperation. The authors then analyse how two central concepts reinforced during the Busan High Level Forum have been put into practice by a ‘new emerging’ and a ‘traditional Nordic’ donor. For ‘development effectivenes…
Odeseizar la educación y la cooperación para el desarrollo en España : una mirada internacional a la AOD y al ODS 4
2020
El presente artículo pretende centrar su atención en la política sectorial de la AOD vinculada a la educación desde la ingeniería cosmopolita de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible que han permitido odeseizarlas políticas mundiales (Barandiarán, 2017), de las que la cooperación y la educación constituyen dos objetos de análisis e investigación. Para ello, sus objetivos se centrarán en revisar el caso español del binomio AOD y educación y cómo, estrechamente vinculado a la ortodoxia política mundial homogeneizadora que proviene de manera intencionalmente manifiesta por parte de los organismos internacionales, la AOD en la actualidad y en este ámbito específico se ha canalizado y transmuta…
Corruption and managing the project cycle : the role of corrupt practices in NGO funding in Pakistan
2013
This Master’s thesis research explores the role of corrupt practices in development projects implemented by local NGOs in Pakistan.

It also explores other program support functions, i.e. procurement and human resources, and their vulnerability to corruption. The contribution of this study to academic literature is increasing awareness of NGO corruption and its different forms in Pakistan from the project management point of view. This is a qualitative study…

Vulnerabilità e resilienza nelle politiche neoliberali di cooperazione allo sviluppo
2019
The essay is dedicated to the particular meaning that the vulnerability-resilience nexus has assumed in development cooperation policies, to observe how neoliberal governmentality regulates lives on the global scene today, its implications in terms of subjectivation, and the forms of life it validates and those that disqualify. Particular attention is paid to the neoliberal turn of the concepts of vulnerability and resilience, to the securitization processes, and precariousness of the lives generated by the abandonment practices in terms of lack of social protection and political recognition.

Empowerment en l’àmbit de la cooperació al desenvolupament
2018
Aquest article pretén ser una reflexió sobre el concepte de Cooperació al Desenvolupament i el seu significat en les relacions d’empowerment. Empowerment es refereix a un concepte desenvolupat en la Psicologia comunitària nord-americana que bàsicament es refereix a l’adquisició i / o apoderament de la capacitat de tenir control sobre la seva pròpia vida. El concepte d’«apoderament» pot aplicar-se a qualsevol grup que pugui identificar-se com a col·lectiu vulnerable socialment. No obstant això, el caràcter subjectiu i ambigu del concepte ha afavorit que el terme s’hagi estès de tal manera que s’hagi buidat de contingut. Malgrat això, el «empowerment» té un gran potencial per ser un instrumen…
Beyond Foreign Policy? EU Sanctions at the Intersection of Development, Trade, and CFSP
2022
In the wake of unsettling conflicts and democratic backsliding, states and organisations increasingly respond with sanctions. The European Union (EU) is one of them: Brussels makes use of the entire toolbox in its foreign policy, and its sanctions appear in different forms—diplomatic measures, travel bans, financial bans, or various forms of economic restrictions. Yet, there is little debate between different strands in the literature on EU sanctions, in particular concerning measures under the Common Foreign and Security Policy and those pertaining to the development and trade policy fields. Our thematic issue addresses this research gap by assembling a collection of articles investigating…
