Current debates on emerging powers as foreign aid donors often
fail to examine the myriad geopolitical, geoeconomic and
geocultural tensions that influence policies of Official
Development Assistance (ODA).
This book advocates a regional geopolitical approach to
explaining donor-donor relationships and provides a
multidisciplinary critical assessment of the contemporary debates
on emerging powers and foreign aid, bringing together economic and
geopolitical approaches in the light of the 2015 completion of the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Moving away from established
debates assessing the advantages and disadvantages of foreign aid,
this book challenges the current geopolitical assumptions of the
emerging powers concerning issues such as 'south-south' solidarity,
shared development experience and 'multipolarity'. It analyses how
donor governments 'sell' aid to recipients through enabling
different cultural assumptions and soft power narratives of
national identity and provides empirical evidence on agendas such
as aid effectiveness, aid for trade, public-private partnerships,
and green growth aid. The book examines the role of, and
relationships between, the leading traditional and emerging power
Asian donors specifically, and explores the different and contested
perspectives and patterns of ODA policy through an alternative
account of emerging power foreign aid to leading African and Asian
recipients.
This book provides a valuable resource for postgraduate students
and practitioners across disciplines such as development economics
and geopolitics of development, uniquely approaching the debate
from the perspective of emerging powers and donors.
