New Special Issue in Third World Quarterly on New Actors and Alliances in Development
02/19/2014
| The nexus of sustainable development has seen a marked shift from public aid to private flows, from primarily North–South relations to multiple polarities of emerging economies and new donors to the ubiquitous debate on China in Africa. The ten contributions in this collection move beyond the analysis of ‘traditional’ actors – such as governments, international organisations and NGOs – to highlight how business, consumers, celebrities, philanthropic organisations, diaspora groups, elites and ‘non-traditional’ state actors work as ‘legitimate’ development actors to configure the ideas and financing for sustainable development. Key words: actors, sustainable development, brand aid, cause-related marketing, consumption, poverty reduction, bottom of the pyramid, trade, aid, NGOs. |
