Tracing Canadian men's soccer's emergence from global obscurity to international powerhouse, featuring insight from star players like Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David. The last time Canada qualified for a men's World Cup was in 1986. For a generation afterwards, the Canadian national men's soccer team struggled in obscurity, an afterthought in a country that was not yet soccer-mad. The twenty-first century brought a wave of soccer passion and expertise to this frozen country -- and a crop of new superstar players who lifted the forgotten team into the international spotlight. Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David are now internationally known names, and soccer a national obsession. Through interviews with players and coaches, Joshua Kloke tracks the rise of men's soccer in Canada from darkness to the world stage in 2022. This is the inside story of how the best team in Canadian soccer history grew from disappointment to international fame.

Still, TFC fans never wavered, building the most unique atmosphere in Toronto sports. When it seemed TFC was destined to become an afterthought in a city crowded with teams, the club carved out a niche by creating a winning culture unlike anything Toronto had ever seen, bringing a championship to the city in 2017. Come on You Reds takes fans behind the scenes, from the inception of TFC, through the team's lowest years, and finally, to the story of how management arguably built the best team in Major League Soccer history.

Existing global frameworks for development cooperation are heavily dominated by the experiences of industrialized countries. However, emerging economies have begun to accelerate their development cooperation with other developing countries, and attempts to bring them into existing aid models have been met with caution and reservation. This expert and topical volume explores the development cooperation policies of China, India, Brazil and South Africa and compares them with those of Mexico and Western actors. In exploring the motivation and execution of these countries' development policies, the volume will analyze how South-South cooperation has evolved, and where it differs from traditional development cooperation. This vital new collection brings together first-hand experience from a range of national experts from these countries, to provide a forward-looking analysis of global frameworks and the evolution of a possible convergence of traditional and emerging development actors.
