Asian Approaches to Development Cooperation: Contemporary Asian Perspectives on South-South Cooperation

Abstract

This volume contributes Asian perspectives to the international dialogue and body of literature on the future of SSC and its role in the global business of aid. Development experts, policy specialists, and government officials from eight countries reflect on SSC’s historic path and dynamic future. Authors make specific policy contributions and recommendations on ways to better govern, manage, and measure SSC for increased impact and development effectiveness. Most of the existing literature on emerging providers focuses on China and sometimes on India. Rarely do analysts provide insights into providers such as Indonesia or Mongolia, or from SSC partner countries, such as Nepal. The authors in this volume present contemporary perspectives on Asian SSC that explore this evolving diversity.
