Cooperación internacional desde el sur global

The politics of south-south cooperation

Resumen

Our understandings of international development cooperation are organized by theory and reflected in the broad range of diverse and contending theoretical approaches. Development as a field of study became an issue of urgent priority following the end of the Second World War. Conventional wisdom generally accepts the argument that development is a universal pattern and sequential process associated with preconditions, achievements and overcoming obstacles. Development studies have been centrally concerned with understanding patterns of North–South cooperation, great powers and specific political and economic circumstances of the North, while the study of international development cooperation has always been based on the belief that the donor–recipient relation is necessary in order to promote development in the poorest countries. Generally speaking, some works have allowed us to examine South–South cooperation (SSC) and certain of its conceptual propositions, as well as to identify themes that require further investigation (Blaney and Inayatullah, 2008; Jules and Sá e Silva, 2008; De la Fontaine and Seifert, 2010; Robledo, 2015; Deciancio and Tussie, 2019; Deciancio and Quiliconi, 2020). However, little has been assessed and summarized on the question of how the politics of SSC has been understood throughout the debates on international development and International Relations (IR).
