At a time when uneven power dynamics are high on development
actors' agenda, this book will be an important contribution to
researchers and practitioners working on innovation in development
and civil society. While there is much discussion of localization,
decolonization and 'shifting power' in civil society collaborations
in development, the debate thus far centers on the aid system. This
book directs attention to CSOs as drivers of development in various
contexts that we refer to as the Global South. This book take a
transformative stance, reimagining roles, relations and processes.
It does so from five complementary angles: (1) Southern CSOs
reclaiming the lead, 2) displacement of the North-South dyad, (3)
Southern-centred questions, (4) new roles for Northern actors, and
(5) new starting points for collaboration. The book relativizes
international collaboration, asking INGOs, Northern CSOs, and their
donors to follow Southern CSOs' leads, recognizing their
contextually geared perspectives, agendas, resources, capacities,
and ways of working. Based in 19 empirically grounded chapters, the
book also offers an agenda for further research, design, and
experimentation. Emphasizing the need to 'Start from the South'
this book thus re-imagines and re-centers Civil Society
collaborations in development, offering Southern-centred ways of
understanding and developing relations, roles, and processes, in
theory and practice. The Open Access version of this book,
