Aid and development: Where we are, how we got here, and where it might all go
This webinar will begin with Professor Myles Wickstead setting out how notions of aid and
development have evolved since the end of the Second World War, and how they relate to
broader international political and economic dynamics.
The presentation will consider how the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) reflected the
world order of the 1990s, and how the Sustainable Development Goals reflect shifts in the
balance of power and an increasing recognition that issues like climate change and
pandemics can only be addressed through global cooperation. It will consider progress so
far and prospects up to 2030 (not least reflecting on the implications of coronavirus and
the growth of populism and nationalism).
Dr Nilima Gulrajani will respond to and build on the presentation. She will suggest
traditional DAC norms of donorship are directly challenged by several domestic and
international forces, resulting in some notable convergences between Northern and Southern
development providers. Consideration will be given to the fallout of such convergence for
the future of Official Development Assistance as a political construct and a policy
target.
